Also speaking at the event was Comrade Ayuba Wamba, National President of NLC who praised Ishaku for assisting in the completion of the Labour House in Jalingo.
He thanked Gov Ishaku for taking workers’ welfare as a priority and wished him success in the forthcoming elections.
Gov Ishaku thanked the NLC for their support and for appreciating what his administration had achieved in the State.
He promised to do more for workers in his second tenure and urged the National leaders of the Union to think out of the box in order to help workers achieve self-sustenance while still in service and after retirement.
The Governor urged them to take a cue from his skills acquisition programme in order to prepare for retirement while stressing that national leaders of the NLC help their members prepare smoothly for retirement.
He said he was workers friendly because the State is a civil service State with every worker taking care of at least 10 other dependents from his monthly earnings. He promised to do more to develop the state after his re-election.
