NUPPPPROW exco assures cooperation with ANPC management

MANAGING Director and Chief Executive Officer of Anambra Newspaper and Printing Corporation, Publishers of National Light Newspapers, Sir Chuka Nnabuife has called on the labour leaders in the corporation to work towards uplifting the status of the office by being champions of excellence.

 Sir Nnabuife, who made the call when the newly elected executive of National Union of Printing, Publishing and Paper Products Workers (NUPPPPROW), paid him a courtesy visit in his office, congratulated them and  also stressed the need for harmonious relationship between workers and management.

 He urged them to understand that the most important and reasonable thing is that any worker in Anambra Newspaper and Printing Corporation should support the  organisation and work hard, stressing that their efforts have  been challenging  from the beginning but the Government of Anambra State under the leadership of Governor William Obiano has made a tremendous effort to ensure the welfare of the workers.

 “Since June, 2017 when His Excellency, Governor William Obiano initiated this idea and eventually paid entirely all the outstanding money; which is both the 26 years accumulated gratuity and pension of our  retired workers that have been not been paid over the years. I don’t know any state or any person or governor that has done that so far. I think he is worthy of our appreciation. Secondly, unlike the previous administration in this state, no person has paid as much as our pension in National Light as Governor William Obiano has done. I think that is also worthy of our appreciation and reciprocation by workers…”

  “You stand now illustriously among members of NUPPPPROW all over Nigeria, among practitioners in the media industry to beat your chest as one of the most consistently paid online and as at when due and the most outstanding state owned newspaper in Nigeria. I don’t think it was like that before now…Therefore, every practitioner here should exhibit unity every time for the growth of the organisation”. 

 He further said that his desire was to run an organisation that would raise IGR whether they have a new attention or not, adding that the desire of the organisation under his watch is “a place where you come and see happiness both in the environment and in everybody as well as when we do our work.

  Senior Special Assistant to the Governor Obiano on ANPC, Mrs Fanny Oguine in a  vote of thanks, welcomed the members the exco on board, noting that a cordial relationship has been established as they look forward to actualizing their dreams. She also urged every hands to be on deck for better improvement in the organization.

  Earlier, the new NUPPPPROW Chairperson, Mrs Chidiebere Joe-Angi, who led the delegation, said the visit  was aimed at familiarising with the management of the organization. She declared the readiness of the new exco members to cooperate with management to achieve more positive goals in the corporation.
