The Deputy Speaker, Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Edison Ehie, says workers in the state owe it as  a duty to reciprocate the gesture of Governor Nyesom Wike, for building an edifice as the NLC House in the state.
Hon Ehie gave the advice Wednesday at the commissioning of the Nigerian Labour Congress Secretariat built by Governor Wike’s administration.
“ The beneficiaries owe a duty to the government and people of Rivers State to ensure that the facility is secured and used for the purpose it was built by the state government.
“ I advise them to ensure that the facility is maintained, that workers have unlimited access to the administrative issues carried out.
“ They should ensure that  they reciprocate the gesture of government by being transparent, up and doing in the discharge of their duties”, the Deputy Speaker said .
Hon Ehie noted that the delivery of the edifice clearly showed the commitment and resolve of the Governor to the welfare of workers in Rivers State and beyond.
The lawmaker stated that Governor Wike made a promise to NLC to ensure that their edifice was built and given state-of-the-art touch and commended the governor for fulfilling his promise to workers.
He said: “ Today we are here confirming the fulfilment of that promise of His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike.
“ The labour Congress has never had it this good across the the country . The Governor of Rivers State is a man who fulfils every promise made and appreciates the significance of NLC as a stakeholder in nation building”.
He further said that the gesture shows that the governor understands and respects the independence of the community of workers and their freedom to operate under a conducive environment.
The Deputy Speaker described Wike as a Governor who came for  service, a man of his words and a governor who appreciates every sector and every stakeholder in the business of governance.
“ Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know the much more words needed to say, to understand that Nyesom Wike is a governor that is for service.
“ We are here to show a Governor who is ready to listen to issues and engage where necessary. We are here to thank him specially for being a man of his words.
