NOA Seeks Labour Union’s Support In Renewed Hope Campaign

The Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu has appealed to labour Unions in the country to realise their important role as partners in the campaign to renew hope among the people of Nigeria.

He spoke in Ado Ekiti, capital of Ekiti state as part of his engagements with stakeholders in the Agency while addressing members of the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation, Civil Service Technical and Recreational services Employees (AUPCTRE), who are marking their annual convention. AUPCTRE is the central workers union in the Agency.

A statement issued by Paul Odenyi, deputy director, press quoted Issa-Onilu as appealing for coperation and support especially given the expected role the agency will play in the campaign to re-energise the citizen’s passion for the country.

He told the workers of plans by the government to unveil a value renewal programme that will outline the citizens code and the Nigerian promise to its citizens.

He said: “it is not for nothing that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Government created the ministry of Information and national orientation, to underscore the importance it attaches to value re-orientation and attitudinal change.  We must as a nation rediscover our path which is to return to the real Nigeria. We are not thinking of a new Nigeria because the real Nigeria is when we had honesty, hardwork, discipline and patriotism.

“As an Agency we must be prepared to play our role in the renewed hope agenda of the present Government. So labour unions should be part of this strategic process in mobilizing workers, stabilising the environment and encouraging productivity.

Besides the address to the labour unions, Mallam Issa-Onilu also appealed for time to tackle outstanding welfare issues of NOA staff. He said that plans are in place now to conduct promotion examinations early in the year to stop huge stock of unpaid promotion arrears in the Agency.
