AWKA – The Southeast Governors’ Forum (SEGOF) has extended warm wishes to Nigerian workers on the occasion of the 2025 Workers’ Day celebration.
In a goodwill message, the Director General of SEGOF, Sen. Uche Ekwunife, applauded workers for their unwavering dedication to national growth and productivity across all sectors.
“This year’s celebration, with the theme, “Ensuring Safety and Health at Work in a Changing Climate,” aligns closely with the forum’s development vision, which includes creating a safe and enabling environment for workers across the Southeast.”
The statement was issued on Thursday in Awka by Tony Ezike, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the DG.
“We, the SEGOF, commend the resilience, diligence, and patriotism of the Nigerian workforce; they are the backbone of the country’s development and progress,” Ekwunife said.
She noted that under the leadership of Gov. Hope Uzodimma, SEGOF was pursuing a bold and transformative agenda focused on regional integration, enhanced security, and inclusive economic growth.
“The forum’s mission is clear—to transform the Southeast into a hub of opportunity, innovation, and prosperity.
“We are making strategic investments in infrastructure, security, and economic empowerment to create a region where hard work is recognised and rewarded,” she added.
Ekwunife reaffirmed the forum’s commitment to building a safer and more united Southeast by leveraging both the region’s human capital and natural resources to unlock its full potential.
She also encouraged Nigerian workers to continue supporting President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that national progress required shared responsibility, patriotism, and unity of purpose.
As Nigeria celebrates its hardworking citizens, Ekwunife conveyed a heartfelt message of hope and solidarity, wishing the people of the Southeast and all Nigerians a peaceful, productive, and prosperous month of May.(NAN)
