Radio Nigeria also observed that some private organizations also opened for work while others were appreciating God for sparing their life to witness new year.

They expressed optimism that 2025 would be a better year for them.

Chairman, Nigeria labour Congress, NLC Oyo state council, Mr Kayode Martins said since the state government is set to implement the new national minimum wage this month, it is expedient for Oyo state workers to reciprocate the gesture through diligence, punctuality and commitment to duty.

The NLC Chairman, who said the union is committed to fostering industrial peace however appreciated the state government for prioritizing the welfare of the workers.
