The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has urged members of the association to concentrate on the issues that affect the masses not on leadership tussles.
The national deputy secretary-general of ASCSN, Comrade Igbokwe Chukwuma, stated this at the weekend in Asaba during the inauguration ceremony for the newly elected executives across various units of the state.
He highlighted the significance of unity in advancing the association’s goals, pointing out that unions now play a significant role in providing leadership and making demands in Nigeria since the opposition parties have failed in that regard.
“The role of organised labour in advocating for societal issues amid political transitions emphasize the importance of holding together for the interest of peace and the welfare of members,” he stated.
The state chairman, ASCSN, Comrade Bolum Martins, emphasized the importance of workers’ welfare, selfless service and unity within the association.
He urged the new executives to prioritise the interests of the workers and engage in diplomatic negotiations with the government for improved welfare.
“Ongoing efforts to address issues such as wage disparities and allowances are seriously being pursued.
You should carry out your duties with utmost loyalty to both the union and the people who elected you,” he said.
Martins charged the newly elected executive to always uplift the association by ensuring selfless service to the workers of Delta State.
The state chairman emphasized the need to use diplomacy in negotiating the welfare of the people with government.
