Rivers crisis: Forces of justice, peace will prevail- Fubara

 


Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged residents of the state to stay hopeful and united amid the political crisis that culminated in the declaration of an emergency rule.

In a statement issued by Nelson Chukwudi, his chief press secretary, to commemorate this year’s Workers’ Day, Fubara said said “forces of justice, peace, and progress will prevail in the end.”

He praised the resilience of the state’s workers, and also hailed their “patriotism, integrity and unwavering commitment to duty.”

He described workers as the “backbone of the state’s development and beacon of hope for a better future.”

Fubara said the 2025 Workers’ Day theme, ‘Ensuring Safety and Health at Work in a Changing Climate,’ highlights the urgent need to safeguard workers’ well-being in the face of environmental and political challenges

“This theme underscores the urgent need to protect workers amid escalating environmental threats and socio-political uncertainties.

“It is a call to prioritise occupational safety and well-being as essential pillars for sustainable growth,” he said.

Fubara further hailed President Bola Tinubu for “advancing labour reforms.”

He also commended the efforts of the “Federal Government, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in promoting climate-conscious policies that support a healthier, safer working environment nationwide.”

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting workers’ rights and urged public and private employers to uphold labour laws and respect the dignity of workers.

The suspended governor called for continuous improvement in working conditions, noting that decent work environments are a legal and moral obligation.

“I offer prayers for divine wisdom and guidance for all leaders.

“Our administration remains committed to creating a work environment that nurtures dignity, opportunity and prosperity for all,” he stated.
