The Anambra State Head of Service, Barr. Theodora Igwegbe, has charged the leadership and members of the Nigeria Civil Service Union, Anambra State Council to uphold dialogue in resolving issues and contribute towards national development.
Barrister Igwegbe gave the charge at the 8th Quadrennial Delegates’ Conference of the Nigeria Civil Service Union, Anambra State Council which took place at the Teachers House Conference Hall, Awka.
Declaring the event open, the Head of Service commended the leadership of the union for showing strong zeal towards national development, hence the theme of the conference ‘The Role of Trade Unionism in Repositioning National Development’.
Barr. Igwegbe charged them to utilize the opportunity to engage in deliberations which can yield informed decisions that would drive the role of trade Unionism within the Civil Service while touching the broader landscape of national development.
Igwegbe reminded them of the collective wins the Civil Service has recorded since the inception of the administration of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
She assured them of continued support from the government and more benefits for Civil Servants in Anambra state as long as they continue to conduct the activities of labour unions within the state without mounting undue pressure on government for matters which could be solved using dialogue.
Barrister Igwegbe encouraged them to participate actively in bringing up ideas as they chart a course for a better union, noting that any decision taken will determine the union’s progress or otherwise.
Earlier in his welcome address, the State Chairman, Nigeria Civil Service Union, Anambra State Council, Mr. Paul Uwaeze acknowledged the labour friendly disposition of Governor Soludo, whom he noted has brought about significant improvement in the affairs of the state workforce as well as the overall development of the state.
He encouraged contestants for positions in the union to imbibe the true spirit of sportsmanship.
In their Goodwill messages, the National President, Mr. Sunday Oluwole who was represented by Mrs. Ngozi Orji and the State Controller, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mrs. Oji-Ogbuehi Bernadine encouraged the union to always exhaust dialogue as it remained the most effective key to settling labour related issues.
