After a warm welcome by the Presidency, Mr. Mezhoud conveyed fraternal greetings on behalf of OATUU and expressed gratitude for Ghana’s longstanding support in hosting the organisation’s headquarters in Accra. He highlighted Ghana’s historic role in advancing African unity, workers’ rights, and Pan-African ideals, noting that these values continue to inspire the wider African labour movement.

Mr. Mezhoud reaffirmed OATUU’s mission as a continental trade union organisation, working across more than 50 African countries to promote decent work, social justice, and sustainable development. He further commended President Mahama’s leadership in championing the African Union’s theme on reparatory justice for Africans and people of African descent, describing it as a vital step toward addressing historical injustices and reclaiming Africa’s future.

“OATUU fully supports this movement,” he said, pledging the organisation’s collaboration with African leaders to advance reparative justice and continental progress.
