According to the News Agency of Nigeria, two new senators have called for improved welfare for civil servants in the country.
The senators-elect, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja today, said that a happy workforce would ensure a prosperous nation.
Sen. Uche Ekwunife, the Senator-elect to represent Anambra Central (PDP), noted that if there is a productive workforce, then Nigeria would move forward.
“There must be a mechanism to ensure that people do what they are supposed to do because if the civil service is not productive, nothing else will work.
“Let us all work for Nigeria so that Nigeria can be a better place,” she said.
Dino Melaye, the Senator-elect to represent Kogi-West (APC), said that the civil service in Nigeria was in dire need of reforms.
He called on workers to be hard working so that Nigeria can witness real growth in all the sectors of the economy.
The senators also wished Nigerians a happy Workers’ Day.
