Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has lauded the local chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for its role in promoting harmony between workers and the state government. Speaking via his official Facebook page after the 2026 May Day celebrations, the governor acknowledged the union’s efforts in bridging gaps and fostering mutual understanding.
During the event, which was jointly organized by the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Governor Sani stood alongside thousands of workers to honor their contributions to the state’s development. He expressed particular appreciation for the labour leaders’ acknowledgment of his administration’s initiatives across vital sectors.
Among the achievements highlighted were the upgrade of 255 Primary Healthcare Centers, reconstruction of general hospitals, recruitment of 10,000 teachers and 1,800 health workers, and the disbursement of N17.796 billion for pensions, gratuities, and death benefits. The governor described these obligations not merely as financial but as moral commitments.
Reflecting on his personal history, Governor Sani reminded workers that his journey has always been anchored in solidarity. As a lifelong advocate for justice and civil rights, he stood with labour during key moments of Nigeria’s democratic struggle. He reaffirmed that this bond remains strong, pledging to continue advancing the dignity, welfare, and aspirations of every worker in Kaduna State.
