Staff of APAKA Enterprise turned out in their numbers for this year\u2019s Labour Day celebration in Bangem, marching in blue polo shirts behind the company\u2019s banner to showcase solidarity with workers across Kupe Muanenguba Division.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The enterprise, which deals in general business and contracts, employs over 20 workers and also runs the biggest bar and whiskey shop in Bangem, offering affordable prices to meet the needs of the population.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the Labour Day parade, Chief Executive Officer Kang Jerry said APAKA\u2019s participation reflects the company\u2019s commitment to decent work and local development. \u201cLabour Day is not just about marching. It is about asking: Are we creating jobs that give dignity? Are we keeping money circulating in Bangem?\u201d Jerry said.<\/p>\n

Outlining his vision for Kupe Muanenguba, the CEO stressed three priorities, Kang stressed,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe want to win more public and private contracts so we can hire more youths from Bangem, Nguti, and Tombel. Every contract should mean five more families eat,\u201d he said. APAKA currently employs over 20 workers from across the Division.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jerry noted that the enterprise\u2019s bar and whiskey shop was set up to give residents a clean, safe, and affordable place to relax. \u201cDevelopment is not only offices. People need decent leisure after work, and it should not bankrupt them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CEO pledged that APAKA will continue supporting local events and skills training. \u201cOur profit must be Bangem\u2019s progress. If the Division grows, business grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Workers at the parade described APAKA as one of the few private employers providing stable income in the area. \u201cWith my salary here, I pay my children\u2019s fees and farm on weekends,\u201d said one staff member.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

APAKA Enterprise, has operated in the Division for several years. Jerry called on authorities to ease conditions for local contractors, arguing that \u201cwhen Bangem enterprises win, Bangem youths win.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company says it will expand into new services this year to create more jobs, though details were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
