Wednesday, April 30, 2025 - The Federal Government has declared Thursday, May 1, as a public holiday to mark this year’s Workers’ Day Celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the
declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.
The Minister, in a statement by the Permanent Secretary of
the Ministry, Dr Magdalene Ajani, reiterated the need for peace to drive
industrialisation and economic growth.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo 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.
Tunji-Ojo 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 Honourable
Minister urged Nigerians to keep hope alive as the present administration of
President Bola Tinubu is committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda he has
promised.
