Governor, Ondo State

Ondo State .
RE – APPOINTMENT OF COMRADE BOLA TAIWO AS SPECIAL ADVISER TO THE GOVERNOR ON UNION MATTERS.
I received with great delight the news of the appointment of Comrade Bola Taiwo as the Special Adviser to the Governor of Ondo State on Union Matters. I congratulate Comrade Taiwo on a well deserved appointment and equally thank Mr Governor for appointing a fit and proper person.
I recall with pleasure that Comrade Taiwo had a four year tenure as Ondo State President of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) which witnessed remarkable industrial harmony and activism. He notably refused to run for a second term thus sustaining the peace in the succession politics of NULGE in the state.
I wish to once again appreciate Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for the appointment of a trade unionist from the Local Government system who is a grassroots mobilizer. He is noted for courage and commitment in the discharge of his responsibilities and also enjoys tremendous respect within the Labour circle for the sensitive job.
This appointment is a demonstration of inclusive governance that recognises the fact that power belongs to the people and that the Labour force in Ondo state is a strategic partner in deepening democracy and bringing development closer to the people.
I like to remind Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa that the Public Service in Nigeria is entering a most challenging era of inevitable reforms . Deep engagement of Government and Labour is required to navigate through the storms in order to ensure the outcomes are ultimately beneficial to the government, the workers
and the people of Ondo State.
Dr. DEJI AKINWALERE
FORMER NATIONAL PRESIDENT,
NIGERIA UNION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES (NULGE)
