The All Progressives Congress (APC) has promised to continue to prioritise workers’ welfare in Niger State if elected in the 2023 governorship poll.

Mr. Yakubu Garba, the state deputy governorship candidate of the party, said this in an interview on Wednesday.

Garba said there was much work to be done in the area of workers’ welfare, such as payment of salaries and delayed payment of gratuity of those who retired.

“As someone who understands and feels the plight of civil servants, we will ensure that all these issues are resolved, especially issues of promotion, training, and retraining of civil servants.

“This is because civil servants are the engine room of any government and if neglected their impact will not be felt.

“I will ensure that civil servants have their pride place in the scheme of things for socio economic growth and development,” Garba added.
