The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewalen Egbedun, on Monday, applauded the role Osun teachers were playing towards building an enlightened nation.
Egbedun stated this when he hosted the State leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in his office.
Egbedun said teachers were critical stakeholders in building society, commending the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, for his initiative to prioritise workers’ welfare.
According to him, “teachers are the foundation builders of the society. The first contact children do have after their parents are teachers. They mould and nurture dreams, hence deserve to be well-motivated.”
While speaking earlier, the State Chairman of NUT, Comrade Fatade Muritala Olatoke took the opportunity of the visit to congratulate the Speaker and also asked Rt. Hon. Egbedun for his intervention on some of their requests.
The Speaker assured them that he would help them to facilitate a meeting with Governor Adeleke, where they could discuss their requests.
He affirmed that the Governor was a kind-hearted man who would continue to attend to the welfare of the workers in the State.
He reiterated the commitment of the House to move the state forward.
Also at the meeting are: Comrade Akin Adeojo (State Secretary), Comrade Owolani Benjamin Kayode (State Treasurer), Comrade Olagunju Sulaimon (Assistant Secretary) and Comrade Olawumi Latifat (Accountant).
