May Day: Tinubu Rejoices And Affirms Promises To Nigerian Workers

He reiterates his unwavering support to the welfare of the workers.

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigerian workers on the auspicious occasion of Workers’ Day held annually to celebrate the lifeblood of the country.

The president, in a release issued on Wednesday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, hailed the Nigerian workers for their fidelity to the peace, progress and development of the nation evident in their tireless efforts and patriotic zeal to keep the national engine running.

President Tinubu celebrated Nigerian workers across all spheres – from the clerical officer who ensures the proper documentation and distribution of correspondence; the security officer who remains ever dutiful through all seasons; the teacher who secures the future of our nation by imparting knowledge to the next generation; the doctor who works relentlessly to save precious lives, and to all Nigerian workers who keep the candle aflame.

The president affirmed that his administration remained committed to improving the welfare of all workers, noting the various relief programmes, including the wage award and the imminent minimum wage review.

President Tinubu strongly believed that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair wage and enhanced welfare and that a labourer is deserving of not just any reward but fair and commensurate wages.

He assured Nigerian workers of his dedication to not only improving their welfare but also enhancing their working conditions and providing the necessary tools for them to succeed.

The president, therefore, wished Nigerian workers Happy May Day celebrations.
