From Everest Ezihe, Owerri
The Chairman of Nigeria Union Of Journalists, NUJ, Imo State Council, Comrade Ifeanyi Nwanguma, JP has emerged the State Publicity Secretary of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC Imo State Council.
Nwanguma’s emergence followed the State NLC harmonized election which took place on Wednesday at the Imo State Labour House, New Owerri.
Nwanguma while speaking to Journalists shortly after their inauguration expressed profound gratitude to the leaders and Stakeholders of NLC in Imo State.
The Labour activist applauded the recent peace, unity of purpose, progress and harmony in the state labour relationship, pointing out that NUJ Imo State Council will continue to support and promote the current industrial unity and stability in the State.
It’s pertinent to inform that twenty Nine industrial Unions out of thirty two industrial Unions operating in Imo State actively participated in the harmonized election that saw Comrade Uche Chigaemezu Nwaigwe of Nigeria Civil Service Union emerging the consensus Chairman of Imo State NLC.
It will be recalled that the leaders of the two factions in Imo State NLC, Dr Philip Nwansi and Dr George Ofoegbu respectively dropped their chairmanship ambition which led to the emergence of a neutral candidate acceptable to the two camps in the state, in the person of Comrade Nwaigwe.
Following this healthy development in Imo State NLC, peace, Unity and brotherly love have returned to Imo State NLC for the collective interest of the workers and the State at large.
