On behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Employment and its parastatals, I warmly congratulate the Nigerian workers on this year’s International Workers’ Day.
You are the wind beneath the nation’s wings, keeping it on course, steady and focused.
I laud your can-do spirit, tenacity, sense of purpose, and patriotism in the line of duty while confronting emerging challenges to the well-being of all citizens. The government acknowledges and appreciates your altruism and will keep working earnestly to reward it.
The theme of this year’s celebration, ‘Reclaiming the Civic Space in the Midst of Economic Hardship,’ resonates with the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to building a better Nigeria through the Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on sustainable economic, social, and infrastructure development, driving national progress, peace, and prosperity.
Hence, as you join your compatriots across the world to mark the Workers’ Day, I enjoin you to keep working with the government as comrades-in-arms, united in purpose, and in defence of our collective heritage towards the realisation of the national agenda of transformation and progress.
We commend the resilience of your spirit and urge you to embrace the promise of a future shaped by courage and purpose.
I wish you a productive and fulfilling celebration!
Long Live, the Nigerian Workers!
Long Live, the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Signed:
Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi
Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment
