2025 WORKERS' DAY MESSAGE TO THE STAFF OF RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY, NKPOLU-OROWORUKWO, PORT HARCOURT.
Dear esteemed colleagues, teaching and non-teaching staff.
As we commemorate Workers' Day (May Day) this year, I would like to extend my warmest greetings and appreciation to each and every one of you. Today, we recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions you make to our university community. As we navigate this period of re-engineering our University, your dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence are crucial to our success. Your tireless efforts have enabled our institution to achieve academic excellence, foster innovation, and make a positive impact in society.
I acknowledge the challenges we face, but I am confident that together, we can overcome them and emerge stronger. Your hard work, resilience, and passion for our University's mission inspire me and drive our progress. These, *your potential contributions to the achievement of the University's mandate in the face of our challenges*, account for the targets we have set for ourselves under this administration.
On this Workers' Day, therefore, I encourage us to reflect on our collective achievements, recommit to our goals, and look forward to a brighter future. Let us continue to work together, support one another, and strive for excellence in all we do. We can do better in result management, our students' graduation and convocation, transcript and certificate delivery, staff and student accommodation and relations, labour relations etc. Management will continue to strive to create a conducive conceptual, physical, and social work environment for adequate research, teaching, learning and community services.
Once again, I express my deepest appreciation for your dedication and service. May this celebration inspire us to new heights of achievement and excellence.
Happy Workers' Day!
