President Bola Tinubu has stated that the Nigerian workers being the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair wage and enhanced welfare.
Tinubu stated this in his congratulatory message to the Nigerian workers on the auspicious occasion of Workers’ Day held annually to celebrate their contributions to the development of the country.
In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale on Wednesday, the President saluted 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 the 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.
He affirmed that his administration remains committed to improving the welfare of all workers, noting the various relief programmes, including the wage award and the imminent minimum wage review.
The President 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.
