Some cross-sections of critical stakeholders of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Imo State Council, have wholeheartedly extolled the State Union Chairman, Hon.Comr.Sam Udeh (Ezeumuokorobia) for his kind gestures, even as he has recently embarked on total renovation and refurbishment of their secretariat.
The ongoing refurbishment art of the state at the moment is seen at the union’s official secretariat is located at No.3 Nekede Road, Owerri.
Expressing his profound joy, one of the critical stakeholders of Imo NURTW, Hon. Chief Emmanuel, otherwise known as Emmankirisi, described Udeh as a clean man with a clean spirit, who loves cleanliness, which according to him is next to godliness.
“The unionists in the past were known as individuals who are not regarded in the society. Many people see the union as a place for touting and an abode for the untrained and none educated persons. But the appointment of Udeh as the State Chairman has vindicated us that we are responsible persons who are poised to salvage the society from ugly trends”, Chief Emmankirisi disclosed.
“It is very vital to put the records straight because in the recent past, we use to see the office of the NURTW in Owerri as a dirty and unkempt place, but since the emergence of Udeh, he has shown tremendous leadership capacity. He has commenced restoration, recovery, and rehabilitation of our working place, so as to enable the environment. Therefore, he must be extolled like his principal, Onwa Oyoko, the Imo State Governor, Sen.Hope Uzodinma, who vowed to uphold his 3R mandates”, Chief Emma submitted.
Emma, who spoke as one of the leaders of the union in the state, said with massive renovations ongoing, staffers, unionists, drivers, and friends of Imo NURTW will be very comfortable working in a conducive environment under Udeh.
He, therefore, commended the State Chairman to continue with his spirit of cleanliness, which he has obviously reactivated for the general interests of NURTW in Imo.
Responding in a swift chat with the recommended Imo NURTW State Chairman, Udeh, said,” I have come to as a core Union Chairman to serve, to make NURTW a place of pride and as an engine room to drive the development of the state on my own capacity”.
Udeh, therefore reassured all the staffers, unionists, drivers and members of Imo NURTW of his unflinching support and improve the welfare of the union members.
He however advised Imolites to be steadfast, passionate and committed with the leadership of Governor Uzodinma, added that he is ever poised to ensure his 2023 reelection.
