The Federal Government has declared Thursday, May 1, 2025,
as a public holiday in commemoration of this year’s Workers’ Day celebration.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who made the
declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, reiterated the need for peace
to drive industrialisation and economic growth.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo, in a Tuesday night statement signed by the
Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr Magdalene Ajani, commended workers for
their diligence and sacrifice.
He noted that workers’ efforts are largely responsible for
the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commands in the comity of
nations.
According to the Minister, ”There is dignity in labour; the
dedication and commitment to the work we do is vital to nation-building.”
He therefore urged workers to imbibe the culture of
innovation and productivity.
The minister “encouraged workers to raise the bar of their
trade to drive and upgrade the bar of governance and make all the people of
Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation’s wealth.”
He assured Nigerians that “this Administration is fully
committed to the security of life and property of every citizen and foreigners
in the country.”
While wishing workers a happy celebration, the minister
urged Nigerians to keep hope alive as the present administration of President
Bola Tinubu is committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda he promised.
