Why we enjoy a harmonious relationship with labour, Edo workers, by Obaseki

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said his government’s commitment to the welfare of workers in the State has led to the harmonious working relationship between the labour unions in the State and the government, ensuring improved productivity and employees’ job satisfaction.

Obaseki, who spoke while addressing journalists in Benin City, said workers are the most important factor of production and their well-being is necessary in ensuring optimal productivity and service delivery.

He said, “As a government, honestly, we do not understand why there should be government-labour tension. Labour is a factor of production because they provide labour, the human capacity for production and it has to be paid for.

“Labour is not free, which is why as a government, we focused on issues that will enhance the productivity of the workers in government.

“We understand that if the environment in which you work is not conducive enough, it cannot be productive. If the system, the processes, and the procedure that you worked with are not clear and efficient, the workers cannot be productive and above all, if they do not network into a modern age, using digital technology to enhance their work, they cannot be globally competitive.

“Lastly, if you do not train them, if you do not build their capacity, you do not expect them to perform magic; they can only give you what they have.”

Obaseki continued, “So, those have been the plans of our reforms in Edo. One of the key promises we made was that we are going to build and rebuild our institutions, because we will come and go, but our institutions will remain and it is these institutions that will help us transit one generation to another.

“That is why it is important that we invest in the people who will manage, maintain and sustain these institutions, who are our workers. That is why we don't have that labour-government tension in Edo State, because we expect that we will build the best quality public Service on the continent. That is our goal and I believe in few weeks time, all the heads of service from the sub-region, the BRACED States, will come to Edo, being one of the first in a series of peer review and exchanges that we will be conducting.”

He added, “That will make sure that we are all seeing things from the same perspective, because if the government doesn't work, if the institutions of government don’t work, then we are not going to move an inch in terms of development and prosperity.”

Whether the paying of the N70k by Edo government to workers is for politics or not, at least Gov Obaseki should be commended

They don't have an idea of what some states are paying then. Most times we don't appreciate good government till after their tenure.

If some states governors are still paying N18K as minimum wage, why did FG, Labour and Private sectors omit them in their discussions?

FG, Labour and Private sectors can reach whatever conclusion about the new minimum wage, but are the state governors that trusted to pay.

Imagine one ex governor was even paying half salaries for months, imagine such wickedness

Half salary in this trying times? Sad.

Most states should start holding their governors accountable but all we get to see is Buhari and now Tinubu getting all the blames whereas their state governors are the ones ripping them apart.

Election don come. The day of reckoning is here. Obaseki and PDP have ZERO project they can use for campaign. Obaseki is now running Helter skelter. Instead of showing us what he did,so we go vote his PDP candidate,the man dey follow Labour upandan. Na Labour matter he carry for head like gala. Weather na Labour go vote am abi na Edo people?

For Edo, fire no fit burn us two times. Obaseki is incompetent. He achieved nothing in 8 years. Our votes are for either Monday of APC or Olumide of LP

Your brother dey lie give you. It was actually Oshiomole that increased Edo's minimum wage from 30k to 40k. When Obaseki came,he refused to pay. He later started paying workers in percentage

God bless Obaseki
