Kwara govt reiterates commitment to workers’ welfare
The Kwara State Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Hauwa Nuru, on Wednesday, during the quarterly Inter-Ministerial press briefing held at the Ministry of Finance Conference Room in Ilorin, reiterated the government’s commitment to the welfare of workers and pensioners in the state.
Dr Nuru, while emphasising the commitment and dedication of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in addressing workers’ welfare and well-being in the State, said that the state has ensured prompt and regular payments of salaries and pensions, adding that over the past four years, workers are provided with the necessary tools and enabling environment to thrive, supported by robust welfare packages.
Highlighting the government’s efforts, Dr Nuru reiterated the fact that the administration has consistently paid pensions and ensured prompt payment of workers’ salaries since its inception while affirming the AbdulRazaq-led government to meeting the basic needs of the people while providing transparent and accountable leadership.
She also highlighted the success of the Kwara NG-CARES programme, which provided emergency relief to Kwarans most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the less privileged and the vulnerable group in the society – the programme, she said, has been effective and has positively impacted a large number of residents.
The Commissioner concluded that the government is investing heavily in infrastructural development to boost revenue generation, create job opportunities, and make the state more attractive for investments.
