In his address, Mr. Oshiomhole stated that some Public Servants usually abandon their jobs for selfish interests and called for a change in their attitude to work. The Labour union leaders seized the opportunity of a dialogue session with  Oshiomhole to ask for the reinstatement of teachers and school inspectors who were sacked early this year, and also aired their grievances over the appointment of a non-civil servant as a permanent secretary. Governor Oshiomhole who acknowledged their grievances however said that beyond making demands, workers should be ready to earn their wages, as wages are not awards but reward for labour. He frowned at the lackadaisical attitude of civil servants which he noted is the cause of the rot in the country. Oshiomhole granted the request made by the Labour unions as the sacked workers were recalled and asked to resume duty from next week. Oshiomhole who also was a former labour leader said he has embarked on a quiet revolution to change the state and that such should be acknowledged and commended since the bulk of the issues that Labour is agitating for occurred during the PDP administration and went unchallenged, he however assured that he is committed to labour and will not use his office or any skill he possesses against labour.

Work attitude is one of the many problems we have with Nigerian workers. That really has to change. It is a bad development.
