The former Speaker, Imo state House of Assembly
and the Senatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress APC, in the
botched Imo North senatorial rerun election, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, has
congratulated Imo workers and indeed every Nigerian worker, on the commemoration
of this year’s workers day celebration, maintaining that the future holds great
promises and potentials for the average Nigerian worker.
In his goodwill message to Nigerian workers,
which was released to the press by his Media office, yesterday in Owerri, the
former Speaker congratulated Nigerian workers for their hard work, resilience
and commitment to the change administration of the All Progressive Congress
APC, led Federal and State government, despite seeming challenges in the area
of prompt payment of salaries and other allowances.
While describing the Nigerian worker as the
engine room of any democratic structure, Uwajumogu, appealed to the federal and
state governments to take advantage of this year’s workers day to reflect on
ways of improving the plight of the average Nigerian worker. He also appealed
to Nigerian workers to reciprocate government’s good intentions by rededicating
themselves towards national reconstruction and growth, which current attitude
of graft, corruption, lack of loyalty to employers and willful sabotage of
responsibilities do not encourage.
On the temporary hardship been faced by
Nigerian workers, due to non-availability of funds for prompt payment of
salaries, while describing Nigeria as a country that is presently experiencing
revitalization and positive change in all facets of its National life,
admonished Nigerian workers on sacrifice and to exercise patience with the
current administration, in order to give the government more time in its effort
to completely turn things around, for the common good of all Nigerians.
He reminded them of the need to continue in
their support for the administrations yearning to fight corruption and to
stabilize the county’s damaged economy through massive creation of jobs, blocking
of leakages, prudent management of resources and diversification of the
economy. Adding that an average Nigerian worker has every reason to celebrate,
having surmounted huge obstacles and dangerous pits in the hands of those who
looted the nation dry.
While wishing them a joyful and happy
celebrations, the APC candidate further maintained that the sacrifices
and unity of purpose exhibited by the founding fathers, during the colonial
days should be an indispensable virtue every Nigerian worker must strive to
emulate in order to make our country great again
