“We recognize the economic hardships faced by our members.

Comrade Altine Tabak announced that the program aims to foster financial independence, promote skill development, and entrepreneurship among hundreds of women, as it will provide women with essential skills to supplement their income, start businesses, and enhance economic stability.
This empowerment drive is part of AUPCTRE’s commitment to supporting its members’ welfare and economic well-being
Comrade Tabak also acknowledged the union leadership’s efforts to promote gender mainstreaming, recognizing the vital role women play in the union’s success.
Comrade Sikiru Waheed, General Secretary of AUPCTRE, has praised the Women Committee and FCT Council for their relentless efforts in empowering women. He acknowledged the current economic challenges and inflation, but reassured that the Nigerian Labour Congress is working hard to develop plans to alleviate the hardship.
Waheed emphasized AUPCTRE’s dedication to social democracy, highlighting core values such as integrity, solidarity, and social justice. By prioritizing workers’ welfare, promoting collective bargaining, and fostering human capital development, the union aims to create a fairer environment for all members
AUPCTRE’s commitment to social democracy is crucial, especially during these challenging times. By promoting workers’ rights and welfare, the union is helping to build a more just and equitable society, Waheed Said
