The Chairman of Trade Union Congress, Akwa Ibom State Council, Comrade Dominic Abang has commended the establishment of Akwa Ibom State Chapter of Senior Staff Association of Electricity Allied Company (SSAEAC). The TUC Chairman made the commendation during the inauguration of Akwa Ibom State executive of the organization in Eket at the weekend.

Comrade Abang said the creation of Senior Staff Association of Electricity Allied Company in Akwa Ibom State has expanded the coast of TUC and added another affiliate group to the existing bodies that made up the TUC components which will strengthen the body to carry out its responsibilities appropriately.

“Today is a remarkable one in the annals of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, Akwa Ibom State Council. My earnest appreciation goes to God Almighty who in his magnanimity expanded the coast of TUC in Akwa Ibom State by adding yet another affiliate group to the existing bodies that make up our component in the state.”

Comrade Abang also thanked the South-South Assistant General Secretary of SSAEAC, Comrade Innocent Lord Douglas for coming all the way from Rivers State to perform the inauguration of Akwa Ibom Chapter, showing his love for unionism and service to electricity workers.

While congratulating the newly inaugurated members of the Akwa Ibom State executive of SSAEAC for emerging victorious in a free, fair and transparent poll, Comrade Abang urged them to hold on to the tenets and principles of SSAEAC and TUC, promising to give them the enabling support and motherly coverage at all times.

Comrade Abang said that the task of unionism is enormous but with a collective responsibility, they can attain a brighter future, charging the new executive to be resolute in their struggle to protect the welfare of electricity workers. He therefore appealed to them to work with the State Council of TUC for optimum results.  

“The task of unionism is enormous as we all know, but we can overcome if we deal resolutely with the challenges faced by our members. Although, the future is bright, the process to attain that bright future is a collective responsibility of all of us.

Those inaugurated are Ifiok Ime Utin, Chairman; Chidiadi Alagbo Amadi, Vice Chairman; and Michael James Lawson, Secretary. Others are Nelly Uyoatta Eduok, Treasurer; Kiakutu Salbi, Financial Secretary; Ita Ekpenyong Ekpenyong, Provost; and Uyoatta Uke, Assistant Secretary.
