 As part of activities to commemorate workers' day, Lagos State Administrative Establishments, Training and Pension have organized an event at Mobileji Janssen Arena on Ikon Stadium. Governor Babajideh Songolu while encouraging the workers decided to surprise them with a gift of five hectares of land each in Bandagri and Idera in Ikudu to the Nigerian labor congress and the trade union congress with other promises. Plus TV Africa's correspondent Jacinta Obuco reports. May 1 is International Labor Day, also known as Workers' Day, a day set aside to celebrate laborers and to also encourage them to be aware of their rights. In Lagos, workers' unions gathered and seated in stalls and callers to celebrate and lay bare their challenges and complaints before the state governor whom they await anxiously. A few minutes into the start-up time of the event is the arrival of the Lagos State Governor Babajideh Songolu. The workers' unions gave their welcome addresses and moved straight to tabling their request. Mr. Governor, we have come again this year to also appeal and beg. NSE has 56 affinite unions, representing about 130,000 workforce in the public sector alone. We don't have the secretariat. The governor, having heard their complaints, guessed to the podium to have them addressed. As responsible decision-makers, we have respected the faithful and appalled the guidelines stated by the International Labor Organization and will continue to work with the two bodies in Lagos State, the TUC and the NLC, at ensuring that whatever grey areas we still have, we will resolve them, we will work with them amicably. These are the documents for the paper. Application for land in private... This is the DERA scheme. Five hectares. This is... meat development in Bad Agri, five hectares. Issues concerning pensions was part of what he addressed. We have increased from what I'm told. The allowance will pay our pensioners. There's something that we've done with them and we'll ensure that our pensioners are paid as we pay our monthly salaries. Some of the workers expressed how they feel and take home message. I'm really, really happy about the express approval of Govno to some of our requests right here. We've really said so many things and we're happy. We're proud as workers, not just as workers, as Lagos State workers, and we have promised ourselves that we're going to put more effort. The activities to mark today is now without a march past. It's a tough journey for workers all over the world, especially since the heat of the pandemic. But in a day like this, it's to celebrate and still encourage workers to keep up with the good job and to understand that life is not without challenges.
