TUC Promises Improved Workers Welfare

Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Rivers State, Mr. Chika Onuegbu, has pledged to make the welfare of workers in the state and country his priority.

Onuegbu, who made the pledge in Port Harcourt recently in a statement following his election as the National Industrial Relations Officer (NIRO) of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), said workers interest will be protected.

“I will continue to see that workers’ interest will be protected in all ramifications,” he said.

The unionist urged members of his union to support him in order to enable him succeed in his new office, saying that he cannot work alone, he needs the support of every member to ensure quality leadership.

Onuegbu, who was the immediate past Port Harcourt zonal Industrial Relations Officer of the union, expressed joy over his victory.

Onuegbu, who noted that leadership has to do with developing new ideas, new actions and new possibilities to make a change in a given society, urged members to take their work seriously in order to achieve results.
