The newly elected Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Delta State Council, Comrade Goodluck Ofobruku, has commended the Okowa administration for its labour friendly disposition, as activities for the 2019 Workers’ Day celebration kick-off in Delta State.
Comrade Ofobruku gave the commendation while speaking at a thanksgiving service held at Prevailing Word Ministry, Nnebisi Road, Asaba, as part of the activities lined up for the Workers’ Day Celebration billed to hold on Wednesday May 1, 2019.
The event will hold at the instance of the Delta State Chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
He said it had become an annual ritual for Organized Labour in Delta State to hold a Thanksgiving Service to appreciate God for His abundant mercy, provisions, protection and guidance to the entire workforce in the state, adding that this year’s thanksgiving was special as it was coming few days after a peaceful and hitch free transition that saw the emergence of a new administration for the NLC in Delta State.
“It has become an annual practice for the organized labour in the state to hold a thanksgiving service the Sunday preceding May day celebration. We said we should come and thank God for what he has been doing for workers. Everyday we wake up in the morning to perform our official assignments.” He thanked members of the state council of the Nigeria Labour Congress for believing in him and his executive, particularly for making the election hitch free.
Comrade Ofobruku also thanked the Presiding Pastor of the Prevailing Word Ministry, his local place of worship, Pastor Ken Omole, for standing by him in prayers.
Earlier, Pastor Ken Omole, in his message entitled, “The Fatherhood of God : God and His Family,” noted that it was not a matter of exercising to call God our father but a divine arrangement that required no extra burden to pronounce God as the father of mankind as enshrined in the holy bible and dedicatedly practiced.
He charged Christians to always follow the standard set by our Lord Jesus Christ who is a living example of fatherhood and sonship between God the father and God the son, adding that anyone who failed to obediently observe the word of God was not worthy to be called son of God.
While praying for God’s wisdom and understanding upon the new NLC leadership in the state, Pastor Omole also prayed God to enable the new leadership to surpass the achievements recorded by its predecessor.
Meanwhile, the first State Executive Committee meeting of the Comrade Goodluck Ofobruku led Exco has been scheduled for Monday April 29, 2019, at the Labour House Asaba at 12noon,.
