| Rt. Hon. Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Enugu State Governor |
He added: “I am convinced that this exercise is a worthy course, hence,
I decided to identify with it by coming to address you personally.”
Gburugburu,
as the governor is popularly known as, explained to the labour groups how he
had directed local government chairmen to pay arrears of salaries owed to their
workers. He equally promised that his administration would cooperate with them
by ensuring that they always get things due to them and commended workers in
the state for their eagerness to help government achieve zero-tolerance to
corruption.
Earlier in
his speech the Chairman of the State Joint Negotiation Council (JNC), Comrade Chukwuma Igbokwe described
Governor Ugwuanyi as being a workers friendly governor who marked his 100 days
in office by giving out 100 houses to the state civil servants. According to Comrade
Igbokwe, the rally is to sensitize the Nigerian populace to partner with
government on anti-corruption war in Nigeria.
In his own
speech, the Chairman of Nigerian Labour Congress, Enugu State Chapter, Comrade Virginus Nwobodo, told the
governor that the organized labour was in the Government House on sensitization
campaign against corruption in keeping with the national leadership
directive to support President Mohammadu Buhari’s war against corruption.
He expressed his union’s resolve to partner state government in fighting
corruption, saying that corruption is the major problem facing the
country.
Comrade
Nwobodo thanked Governor Ugwuanyi for being workers friendly, noting that
before now that labour in the state had lost interest in the affairs of state
government.
