The Federal Government has declared Monday, May 1 as a public holiday to mark this year’s Workers Day Celebration.
This was announced by Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on Friday.
Aregbesola commended workers for their hard work, diligence, and sacrifice.
He noted that their efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria now commands in the comity of nations.
“There is dignity in labour, we have to have dedication and commitment to the work you do, because it is vital to nation-building,” Aregbesola said.
“The end of work is productivity. It is productivity that leads to satisfactory provision of goods and services and wealth creation. It is therefore the path to national and individual prosperity.”
He urged workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the current administration’s drive to upgrade the vehicle of governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation.
Also, the Minister assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari‘s administration is fully committed to the security of life and property of every citizen and foreigner in the country and will not slow down in any area, even as his tenure is about to come to an end.
