XENOPHOBIA: Unionist Raise Voice Against It

Okonta Emeka Okelum, Asaba

An Asaba based Trade Union leader, Comrade Dumebi Eluaka has rasied his voice to condemn the recent killing of Nigerians and other Non South Africans in some cities of South Africa.

He aired his feelings today, Thursday, shortly after his inaurguration as the Delta State Public Relations Officer of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC).

The Union Leader maintained that there was no reason for South Africans to had shown Nigerians and other African nationals in their country such ill treatment.

Nigeria had in the dark days of South African's oppression under their colonial masters received material and cash supports from Nigeria and other African Nations.

These acts of xenophobia against Africans by South African youths is largely wrong and not acceptable, he said.

Comrade Eluaka also pledged his committment at raising the image of TUC to some enviable height.

I am ready to do every thing within my ability at supporting my state chairman and work hamoniously at making sure that we collectively succeed as an exco.

It is my prayer that we will have smooth working relationship with the Nigerian Labour Congress, other affiliate organizations in the state, Delta State government and our teeming workers, who today, we vow to represent.

I stand here today to share my support for the full implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage agenda of the Federal Government, Comrade Dumebi Eluaka noted.

 Before today's inaurguration, Comrade Dumebi Eluaka is the Delta State Chairman, Union of Tipper & Quarry Employers of Nigeria, a role he will double with his present position as the Delta State Public Relations Officer for Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.
