Workers Day: CSO urges workers collective action against corruption
A Civil Society Organization (CSO), Initiative for Leadership Development and Change (ILDC), has urged workers to unite against all forms of corruption for national progress.
Chief Ugochukwu Nnam, President of the CSO made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in commemoration of Workers Day in Abuja on Thursday.
While congratulating workers on May Day, Nnam said that Trade unions and civil servants could play a crucial role in advocating for anti-corruption policies.
‘This is possible by supporting workers who report corruption.“Refusing to pay bribes, resisting demands for bribes, even when facing pressure, can help disrupt corrupt practices,” he said.
Nnam who commended workers for their dedication to the development of Nigeria, said that workers play a crucial role in fighting corruption through reporting unethical behaviour.
He advised workers to be active in the fight against corruption by implementing robust whistleblower protections, and promoting transparency and accountability within their organizations and communities.
According to him, these efforts can help create a culture of integrity and discourage corrupt practices.
The ILDC president who commended President Tinubu for his commitment in addressing the plight of workers, urged workers to continue to support him.
He acknowledged the present economic challenges, expressing hope that it would soon be over.
Nnam said that the future of workers and Nigerians generally was bright with ongoing economic reforms of the federal government.
He urged Nigerians not to give up in their selfless service to national progress as there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
