He assured them of creating a more conducive environment and promoting their prosperity and welfare.
“Together, we can build a more prosperous and equitable society where every worker has the opportunity to thrive and succeed,” he said.
The governor commended the resilience and tenacity of workers in the face of unprecedented challenges, adding that with collective efforts, any obstacle would be tackled and greater heights would be achieved.
