The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Bayelsa state chapter has lauded the state Governor, Senator Douye Diri for his Labour friendly policies.<\/p>\n

\"\"Speaking to Newsmen on the sidelines of the celebrations of the 26th and 62nd anniversaries of the creation of Bayelsa state and Nigeria’s independence, the state NLC Chairman, Comrade John Ndiomu said there was more to celebrate in the state by workers, noting that the state governor upon assumption into office has had a cordial working relationship with the organised Labour in the state.<\/p>\n

Ndiomu who also commended the governor for his prompt response to the yearnings of labour in the state hinted that as part of Governor Diri’s labour friendly policies, the state government has since commenced the construction of a new civil servants estate in the state, noting that the Governor has also been strategically clearing the backlog of gratuity and arrears owed workers and retirees in the state.<\/p>\n

He said; “Though gratuity owed pensioners in the state was a backlog, Governor Diri before assumption of office promised labour that he was going to pay gratuities and since he assumed office he has constantly kept to that promise. Retirees and civil servants are being paid their pensions, gratuity and salaries promptly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“As we speak, the Governor has concluded the processes of constructing a civil servant estate for workers in the state so that they can own houses of their own. It’s not easy for civil servants to build houses of their own when they retire from service and so the Governor as part of his labour friendly policies and programmes has started the construction of an estate for workers in the state”.<\/p>

Meanwhile, the Bayelsa NLC Chairman, Comrade John Ndiomu has urged Bayelsans and workers in the state to be more patriotic, saying the state was fortunate to have had a governor who understands the plights of workers.<\/p>\n

He described workers as those who work to produce the wealth of the state, stressing that Governor Diri having this in mind has been working assiduously to solve all likely impedements to workers- government cordial relationships.<\/p>\n

This was just as the NLC helmsman commended Bayelsans and Nigerians for the massive celebrations of the state’s 26th creation and 62nd Nigerian independence anniversaries.<\/p>\n

Ndiomu added that: “Bayelsans should be more patriotic, as a state at 26 we can’t say we’ve attained the heights expected of us as a state, but God’s willing we’ll get there some day. There’s more to celebrate by the Bayelsa workers, because we’ve a labour friendly leader in the person of Governor Douye Diri”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
