As part of ongoing regulatory engagement and labour compliance, Solwood hosted a visit from the Ministry of Labour, Ondo State Branch, on 9 January 2026. The assessment reviewed workplace safety practices, employee welfare measures, and compliance with statutory employment requirements.
The visit formed part of the Ministry’s routine oversight activities and provided an important opportunity to review our workplace practices, safety systems, and employee welfare standards.

The inspection was comprehensive and centered on ensuring compliance with statutory labour and workplace safety requirements. Key areas reviewed during the visit included:
