The Labour Party (LP) candidate for November 8 Anambra State governorship election, Dr. George Moghalu, has promised to prioritise and institutionalise the welfare of workers if elected the State governor.
In a statement from Ikenna Agu, his Media Adviser, Moghalu described Nigerian workers as the lifeblood of the nation’s progress, the engine that powers the industries, the hands that till the fields, the minds that drive innovation, and the hearts that keep hope alive.
He specifically pledged to champion a government that listens to its workforce, engages meaningfully with labour unions, ensures timely payment of salaries and pensions, promotes workplace safety, provides opportunities for skill development, and builds an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and job creation.
Titled; “Celebrating the strength of our workforce, Moghalu in in his message to mark Workers’ Day, extended his heartfelt congratulations and solidarity to all Nigerian workers.
“Today, we pause to salute your unwavering commitment, dedication, and sacrifice in the service of our beloved nation and our dear state.
“Workers’ Day celebration is not just a date on the calendar; it is a powerful symbol of the resilience, fortitude, and unwavering spirit of our workforce. Across every sector — public and private, formal and informal — Nigerian workers remain the lifeblood of our nation’s progress.
“You are the engine that powers our industries, the hands that till our fields, the minds that drive innovation, and the hearts that keep hope alive in our communities. In Anambra State, the story is no different. Our civil servants, artisans, traders, teachers, farmers, healthcare professionals, transport workers, and countless others contribute daily to building a state we can all be proud of.
“Your labour continues to enrich our economy and lay the foundations for a more just and prosperous future. As a LP candidate, my vision is deeply rooted in the values that this day embodies — dignity in labour, equity, justice, and prosperity for all.
“The LP was founded to protect the rights of workers and ensure that the fruits of their labour are not only recognized but fairly rewarded. I reaffirm my commitment to these ideals and assure you that, under my watch, the welfare of workers will not only be prioritised but institutionalised.
“If elected as Governor of Anambra State, I pledge to champion a government that listens to its workforce, engages meaningfully with labour unions, ensures timely payment of salaries and pensions, promotes workplace safety, provides opportunities for skill development, and builds an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and job creation.
“I envision a public service that is efficient, respected, and motivated — where merit is rewarded and where every worker feels a sense of pride in their contribution. To all Nigerian workers, especially those in Anambra State, I say: your labour is not in vain.
“Your sacrifices are not unnoticed. And your voices will be heard. Let us continue to work together to build a future where the dignity of labour is upheld, and every worker can dream, strive, and thrive.
“On this Workers’ Day, I celebrate you. I honour your strength. I applaud your courage. And I renew my commitment to stand with you, walk with you, and work for you. Happy Workers’ Day!” Moghalu felicitated in the statement.
