The Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole has called on members of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institution (NASU) to support the new Minister of Education in developing the educational system in the country.
The Minister gave this charge on Wednesday while addressing the 6th Quadrennial National Delegates Conference of NASU, holding in Abuja.
He noted that NASU constitutes a stabilizing factor in the University system; therefore, Union activists should always explore the power of dialogue and engagement in crisis management in their various establishments in order to achieve more for the sector.
Prof Adewole who was presented with a fellowship Award of the Union by the Union President, Comrade (Mrs.) Ladi Ilya, maintained that a worker is an asset not a liability and as such should be seen as the most important factor of production. He added that a well-motivated staff is key to the progress of any organization.
The Award, according to Comrade Ilya was in recognition and appreciation of Professor Adewole’s contributions during his tenure as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan and his tremendous assistance to NASU.
A statement by the Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry, Mrs. Boade Akinola, said the award is also expected to encourage him to do more for Nigeria and the health sector in particular.
