Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, on Friday, said the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), in Kaduna State, has made significant progress towards peaceful coexistence between the government and workers in the state.
Governor Uba Sani made the remark on his verified Facebook page.
He wrote: “Today, I had the honour of standing shoulder to shoulder with thousands of dedicated men and women at the 2026 May Day celebration in Kaduna; an event thoughtfully convened by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress to recognise the enduring contributions of workers to the growth and vitality of our state.
“I was particularly heartened by labour leader’s recognition. Their recognition of our interventions across critical sectors affirms the direction we have chosen. From the upgrading of 255 Primary Healthcare Centres and the reconstruction of general hospitals, to the recruitment of 10,000 teachers and 1,800 health workers.
“Equally significant is the disbursement of N17.796 billion in pensions, gratuities, and death benefits; an obligation we consider not merely financial, but moral.
“I reminded our workers that my journey has always been rooted in solidarity. As a lifelong advocate for justice and civil rights, I stood with labour in the defining moments of our democratic struggle. That bond endures. I remain, as ever, committed to advancing the dignity, welfare, and aspirations of every worker in Kaduna State.”
