Dr. Fagbemi on behalf of His Excellency Governor Seyi Makinde, appreciated the leadership of the Association for their willingness to work with the government to resolve the ongoing strike.
He also commended the critical services being rendered by them to the State, adding that Governor Seyi Makinde-led administration is a listening government that has put all machineries in place to address their agitation long before the commencement of the strike.
