Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has commended President Bola Tinubu for his support in providing CNG buses for workers and extending the gesture to other workers at the states’ level.
This was during the unveiling of 10 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses given by the NLC to its Rivers chapter at their office in Port Harcourt on Friday.
Governor Fubara who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, assured the NLC of his administration’s resolve to make the welfare of Rivers workers a priority, just as he urged them to continue to engage government meaningfully and constructively.
He urged the national secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) led by Comrade Joe Ajaero to remain constructive in carrying out their duties of representing the workers and the masses.
He said, “Thank you for your support for the Nigerian masses in general. The challenges you encounter are because of the Nigerian masses. Be assured that the people and Government of Rivers State appreciate your efforts and will continue to encourage you to engage all levels of government meaningfully and constructively to ensure that this country witnesses a paradigm shift for the good of the people and the country in general.
Fubara reiterated that he would continue to provide the enabling environment to ensure workers in Rivers State are able to carry out their duties proficiently.
He thanked the NLC for choosing Rivers State as its starting point for the zonal distribution of the vehicles and for engaging President Tinubu to make them available.
