To every dedicated worker across the land of honour, civil servants, artisans, traders, teachers, health workers, farmers, and every hand that labours in Ekiti State. Today, we salute your resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to keeping our state alive.
May 1st is not just another public holiday. It is a reminder that without your sweat, Ekiti would be still. It is your daily grind, often under challenging conditions, that keeps our hospitals running, our schools functional, our farms productive, and our public services afloat.
I, Otunba Emmanuel Fayose recognize your struggles, irregular salaries, poor infrastructure, lack of adequate support, and a system that often takes you for granted. But even in the face of neglect, you show up. You serve. You endure.
This Workers’ Day, let our voices echo across every local government: Ekiti workers deserve more. You deserve dignity. You deserve better pay. You deserve a government that prioritizes your welfare, not just when it’s convenient or politically expedient, but every single day.
As we celebrate you, we also renew the call for a government that listens, that acts, and that genuinely puts the people first. A better Ekiti is not a dream, it is your right.
To all workers in Ekiti State we see you, we value you, and we stand with you.
Happy Workers’ Day Ekiti Kete.
