NUPENG preaches peaceful co-existence
The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) called on those in position of authority to encourage the citizens to make virile and purposeful sacrifice and show love, especially when the country is facing challenges.
The union said this could be achieved by making their own lives, in public and private, transparent, and worthy of emulation for the overall good of the country.In its Easter message signed by its president, Williams Akporeha, NUPENG said such fundamental values would go a long way in promoting and strengthening the foundation of love, peace and harmony in Nigeria.
The oil workers described the celebrations as worthy finale of the sacred period of fasting, prayer and self-denial which Christians had gone through in the past 40 consecutive days of lent. They said the season would serve as a reminder to all of the selflessness, love, sacrifice and tolerance of Jesus Christ throughout his earthly sojourn, his death and his subsequent resurrection.
The union also admonished Nigerians to learn from the pain, joy, love and caring which define the Easter celebrations, while allowing these laudable virtues to continually guide them as a people in their individual, industrial and community relationships.
