Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Kwara State has appealed to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to direct a 50 per cent downward review of the new tax policy of the state government on workers in the state.
State NLC Chairman, Comrade Muritala Saheed Olayinka, made the plea in a statement he personally signed and made available to Journalists in Ilorin on Monday.
Comrade Olayinka also begged the Governor to extend tax holiday for employees in the state public service for another three months as done almost three months ago in view of the current hardship citizens are grappling with.
He praised Governor AbdulRazaq for prioritizing the welfare of workers and pensioners with prompt and regular payment of salaries and allowances, describing it as a clear departure.
He noted that the Governor has brought his leadership quality to bear with the execution of critical infrastructural projects that enhance standard of living of the citizenry
While praying for good health and wisdom for AbdulRazaq to succeed in office, the NLC chairman reaffirmed the resolve of the organized labour to work with the present administration to achieve more milestones.
The NLC Chairman on behalf of the entire membership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Kwara State Chapter, expressed profound gratitude to the Governor for his exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to the development of Kwara State and its people.
As partners in progress, the NLC reaffirmed its support and cooperation in working with his administration to achieve more milestones for the beloved state.
Comrade Olayinka appreciated Governor Abdulrazaq ’s tireless efforts and prayed for his continued wisdom, good health, and success as he steers Kwara State towards greater heights
