Invest In Your Future, Chinwo Tells Workers

Workers have been advised to make solid plans towards their retirement to forestall regrets.
The General Manager of the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, Chief Ernest Chinwo, gave the charge at the sendforth ceremony in honour of the retirees of the corporation which took place at the corporation’s boardroom.
Chinwo urged workers still in service to save and invest in preparation for their disengagement from service, reminding them that lack of planning was already a recipe for trouble on retirement.
He reiterated that those who were being sent forth had at some point been on the other side of the divide, organising sendforth for others, and advised that everyone in any position of authority should view it as a temporary thing as it is only transient.
The general manager thanked the retirees for their labour of love for the corporation, having invested the major part of their lives serving the corporation, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for their services and investment.
While reminding them that the corporation was their home, he urged them to feel free to call for any assistance they might need, while making themselves available also for whatever and whenever the corporation would require their service.
Responding on behalf of the retirees, Chief Goodluck Ukwe, stated that he was overwhelmed with emotion, as he was leaving behind, brothers, sisters, friends after so many years of being together.
He expressed gratitude to the management for the show of love to the retirees, despite the hard times and the paucity of funds.
He prayed for God to give the general manager and other management staff the strength and wisdom to pilot the affairs of the corporation.
The highlight of the occasion was the presentation of plaques to the retirees.
