By Samuel Eugene
The Federal Government has declared Thursday, 1st May, 2025, as a public holiday to mark this year’s Workers’ Day Celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, reiterated the need for peace to drive industrialisation and economic growth.
Tunji-Ojo commended workers for their diligence and sacrifice.
He noted that workers’ efforts were largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commanded 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 governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefits 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 was committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda he has promised.
