The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving workers’ welfare, addressing insecurity, and reducing cost of living.
All workers are to get N50,000 in May and a review will follow.
The Governor spoke at a massive rally to mark the 2026 World Labour Day at Mobolaji Johnson Stadium, Onikan, Lagos.
Thousands of workers, union leaders, and ordinary folks cheered and sang solidarity songs as Mr Sanwo-Olu spoke. He was represented by his deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat.

The Governor described Lagos workers as the “living infrastructure” of the state, praising their resilience and contributions to economic growth.
“There is a particular kind of courage that does not make headlines… the quiet, daily decision to rise before the sun, to show up, to serve, to build. That is the kind of courage I have seen in the workers of this great State,” the Governor said.
Addressing the theme of this year’s celebration, “Insecurity, Poverty: Bane of Decent Work,” Sanwo-Olu acknowledged the realities confronting workers and pledged measurable action.
“It is a diagnosis—an honest accounting of the conditions that stand between the Nigerian worker and a life of genuine dignity. I accept that diagnosis, and I intend to respond not with words alone, but with evidence”, he said.
