Governorship aspirant salutes Akwa Ibom workers, promises better package as governor

A leading governorship aspirant in Akwa Ibom State, Obong Bassey Albert Akpan (OBA), has applauded the contributions of Nigerians and Akwa Ibom workers who sweat selflessly for the growth of the country.

In a brief statement signed by his Campaign Spokesman, Dr Usoro I. Usoro, and made available to journalists in Uyo, Sunday OBA particularly commended the dedication and hard work of Akwa Ibom workers, even in the face of weaponized hardship.

“Your hard work and dedication always motivate me to work more for the growth and development of our dear state, in particular, and the nation in general”, the senator said.

While thanking them for “selflessly contributing their quota to making our country great”, the five-star senator assured Akwa Ibom workers that their sweat will not be in vain when he becomes the governor, next year.

He recalled his efforts in supporting and fighting the cause of some workers over the years, either to save their jobs or ensure a better working cum living environment for them.

OBA promised that as soon as he is sworn in as governor, issues of workers’ welfare, commensurable wages, gratuities, and pensions, among others, will be among the first-line charges.

“May your sweat never be in vain and may you always enjoy the fruit of your labour”, he added.

Also known as May or Labour Day, Workers’ Day is set aside across the world to reflect on matters that affect the workers, and work environment as well as draw attention to such issues that are challenging.
