Bayelsa Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, His Excellency Chief Timipre Sylva has commemorated with Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Worker’s Day Celebrations.
In a letter made available to the media on Sunday, Sylva described workers as the genuine fulcrum of industrialization, of growth and of all-round developments.
“There is totally a need for us to take a day and appreciate those who are sweating it out to keep our country functional. To appreciate the humanity, the selflessness that is innate, that is fundamental to every worker”.
“Society’s growth, history has shown, is infinitely reliant on teamwork, dignity and variety of labour. From the Fisherman to the Farmer, the manual day-labourer to the banker, the hairdresser and the civil servant down to the POS operative: there is an enormous level of personal sacrifice in between”.
“Working conditions may not always be perfect and sometimes work environments could be toxic and salaries may not tally with realities, but there is still a warmness of heart when one sees Nigerians working with zeal and enthusiasm. For there is that believe that Nigeria is a nation in the works and is on course to get even better”, he said.
On Bayelsa State, Sylva felicitates with all workers and commends their faith in the state in spite of the Dickson/Diri nightmarish governments that has, for more than a decade now, underutilized the depth of talents in the workforce and has deliberately, continually degraded Worker’s welfare.
The former Governor who is also making a comeback bid, sympathizes with Bayelsa workers for the sub-human conditions they have been subjected to by a government starkly unaware of the responsibilities of a government. He also charged pensioners in the state, whose payments have been stuttered and infinitesimally sporadic, to hold fort as the light of progress is set to shine on them and all Bayelsans.
