Commemorating the 2024 workers’ day, the Abia State former Governorship Candidate gives speech encouraging workers globally for their unwavering support in creating an acute global economy amidst Socio-economic challenges
The May 1st worker day also known as Labour day is commemorated annually after the first worker’s day organized by the Argentinian Unions in 1890 and kicked off 1991 in Abia.
The former governorship candidate and president of Ohaneze advisory council, Gregory Ibe appreciates all workers including Abia workers for their resilient and heroic spirit.
“On this special day dedicated to commemorating the sterling contributions of workers globally, I want to profoundly appreciate and celebrate the tireless, resilient and unwavering commitment of the Abia workforce to the sustenance and growth of our state.
“While being an active participant in the acute global economic environment of the present times and in the consciousness of the stark realities of our current socio-economic challenges, I want to particularly single out the Abia worker for remaining resolutely committed to the ideals of hard work and perseverance that inspired the founding fathers of Ala Abia in laying the solid foundations upon which our state stands.
“Let us in retrospect be inspired by the sterling contributions of our heroic founding workforce, who on arriving the motherland, were not deterred by the discouraging near absence of crucial public amenities but leveraged the famous Abia ‘never-say-die’ spirit of innovation, creativity and industry in setting out and subsequently building a thriving state”.
