The Eleven Nations, Nationalities and peoples day Celebrated at ECSU
Ethiopian Civil Service University and Ministry of Public Service and Human Resource Development jointly celebrated 11th Nations, Nationalities and Peoples day on 01 December 2016 at Abay Hall. The day was celebrated with a theme “Constitution in our Democratic Unity for our Renaissance”.
On his opining speech Ato Tagesse Chaffo, minister for Ministry of Public Service and Human Resource Development said since the endorsement of the constitution, many tangible and objective changes have been registered in our country. People with different ethnic background are now living in harmony. For this, our constitution served as a basic foundation of our peace and stability. It is also a covenant for people self rule and administration. This is a special day that our people endorse the constitution with full willingness and commitment. It is also a day that we express our respect and loyalty to our constitution and stand together for our country’s renaissance, he added.
Ato Tagesse Chaffo also stated that some anti peace elements are now working hard to destabilize our country’s peace and stability by abusing our people’s requests for good governance and equal opportunity from the economic development. The federal government has given a due attention to solve these problems. The civil servants must also play their important role to ensure the benefit of our people, guarantee good governance, fairness and transparency for our nation. When we celebrate this day, we have to prepare ourselves for the great responsibility to accomplish our mission in the future, Ato Tagesse Chaffo underscored.
On the program two papers entitled “Constitution to Build a Democratic State and Democratic Institutions” and “Multi Nationalism for Building a Common State” were presented by scholars and house discussed on the issues raised by presenters.
On the occasion different Nations, Nationalities traditional songs were presented to the audience.
