Call for Industrial Harmony
Saliu Mustapha has urged Nigerian workers to promote peace and cooperation. His message came during Workers’ Day celebrations.
He encouraged labour unions to focus on dialogue and mutual understanding. Collaboration with the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu also formed a key part of his appeal.
Dialogue Over Disruptions
Workforce stability remains important for economic recovery, according to the senator. Sustainable growth depends on a peaceful industrial environment.
Mustapha acknowledged that workers face real challenges. He advised that negotiation delivers better outcomes than strikes.
“Strikes should be a last resort,” he said. He added that constructive engagement offers a more effective solution.
Commitment to Workers’ Welfare
The lawmaker reaffirmed his support for better welfare policies. A motivated workforce, he noted, strengthens national development.
He also urged governments at all levels to act with practical solutions. Responsive policies can improve living standards across the country.
Support for Education and Agriculture
Several initiatives have been introduced under his leadership. These include scholarship programs for children of workers under the Trade Union Congress and Nigeria Labour Congress.
The program covers full university education from admission to graduation. In addition, farmers have received support through tractors, fertilizers, and processing equipment.
These efforts aim to improve livelihoods. They also help reduce the impact of economic hardship.
Praise for Kwara State Leadership
Mustapha praised AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for prompt salary payments. He also noted improvements in the working environment across the state.
Final Message to Workers
Workers were encouraged to focus on realistic demands. The senator urged them to defend their rights through peaceful means.
He stressed the importance of cooperation between government and labour groups. Lasting solutions, he said, depend on unity rather than conflict.
