As we step into the new year, the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), FCE Special Oyo, has issued a pressing call to action for the government to address the persistent challenges faced by workers and citizens.
According to the statement released and made available to Heritage Echo Correspondence, Comrade Badmus Tolulope Adekunle, Chairman of the Union, called for the government’s urgent attention to settle outstanding workers’ arrears, including 25/35% arrears, minimum wage, peculiar academic and non-academic allowance arrears, and wage award.
This, he emphasized, is crucial for improving the living standards of workers and their families.
Furthermore, the Union is calling on the government to ensure the equitable distribution of subsidized food items, which are meant to alleviate the economic hardships faced by workers.
The government must also invest in critical infrastructure, such as healthcare, education, and transportation, to improve the overall quality of life for citizens.
In addition, the Union is urging the government to implement policies that foster entrepreneurship, stimulate economic growth, and create sustainable employment opportunities. This, the Union believes, is essential for reducing poverty and inequality, and for building a prosperous and just society.
The Union stresses that the government has a responsibility to ensure that citizens can live dignified lives, free from avoidable hardships. It calls for bold, decisive measures to alleviate the struggles faced by ordinary Nigerians and deliver much-needed relief.
As the nation embarks on a new year, NASU FCE Special Oyo’s message serves as a clarion call for collective action to build a brighter, more equitable future. The Union emphasizes that by prioritizing the needs of its citizens and addressing their grievances, the government can lay the foundation for a prosperous and just society.
