Every year on April 28, the world pauses to recognize a truth too important to ignore — every worker deserves to return home safe and healthy.
This global observance, known as the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, is championed by the International Labour Organization to promote safer working environments and protect the dignity of labour across nations.
But beyond the global message lies a local reality — one that affects thousands of hardworking people across Ibadan North-West and Ibadan South-West Federal Constituency. From artisans and traders to civil servants and young entrepreneurs, too many still operate in conditions where safety is not guaranteed, and health is often an afterthought.
It is against this backdrop that Hon. Oluwatobi John Ogunbayo (OJO) extends a powerful message of advocacy, responsibility, and forward-thinking leadership.
According to OJO, “A productive society is built on the strength, safety, and well-being of its workforce. When we protect our workers, we protect our future.”
His message is clear and deliberate — safety must move from being a conversation to becoming a culture.
As an aspirant for the House of Representatives, OJO emphasizes the urgent need for:
Stronger enforcement of workplace safety standards
Increased awareness and education for employers and employees
Policy-driven support systems that prioritize health and welfare
Collaboration between government, private sector, and local communities
For OJO, this is not just about marking a date on the calendar — it is about redefining leadership as one that cares, protects, and acts.
In a constituency known for its vibrancy, commerce, and resilience, the call is simple yet profound: no dream is worth a life, and no job should cost a future.
As the world commemorates this important day, OJO urges residents, business owners, and stakeholders across Ibadan North-West and Ibadan South-West to take safety seriously — not just today, but every single day.
Because in the end, true progress is not measured by how much we achieve, but by how well we protect those who make it possible.
— Hon. Oluwatobi John Ogunbayo (OJO)
A voice for safety. A vision for people. A future you can trust.
