I Am Committed To Worker’s Prosperity, Says Ambode

THE All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has stated that he is committed to the prosperity of all workers in Lagos. He said this while speaking at an interactive session with members of the Lagos State Chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and civil societies.  

  “The primary responsibility of any government is the welfare of its people. The workers in this state make up over 60 per cent of the people. One thing I assure you all is this, I remain committed to the prosperity of every worker in Lagos,” he said.

   Ambode stated that his government would pursue a people-oriented leadership to achieve further excellence in the state. 

   He said: “I know you are the ones who truly toil for the prosperity of the state, you deserve a rightful dose of such prosperity, adding that his government will prioritise human capital development, such that the level of productivity within the labour force will rise considerably.”

   He stressed that his intention to run for the Lagos State top job is hinged on his strong belief in servant-leadership, not because he is an accountant. He noted: “It is on record that I was the only Accountant-General, who made tax refunds to the people after investigations showed that they were overcharged. So, I promise ease, integrity and uniformity in the collection and appropriation of taxes.”
