The Abia State Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti in commemoration of May Day, assured workers in the state, promising them that ” help is on the way.”
Otti, in a statement he signed, told them to “weep no more”, adding that his administration is committed to addressing their concerns.
“Today, by the mercy of the Almighty God, our prayer, battle cry and admonition, ‘Weep No More, Help is on the Way’, has been answered and we can assuredly declare, help is here!” Otti stated.
“I have always held the view that a worker that is neglected or poorly treated is a threat to the economic prosperity of a state and argued that one of the ways to stimulate a depressed economy is to pay salaries and allowances as well as pay contractors to inject funds into the economy, which will in turn lead to increased demand for goods and services, higher productivity and job creation.
“I’m convinced that God saw through our hearts, hence, He crowned our efforts with that nationally celebrated historic victory that has given us the platform to serve you.”
