Monday, May 1, has been declared a public holiday to mark this year’s Workers Day celebration.
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this on Friday, April 28, 2023.
Barely a week ago, Nigeria marked the Eid-el-Fitr holidays.
Aregbesola, in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Shuaib Belgore, on Friday, lauded Nigerian workers for their hard work, diligence and sacrifice.
He added that workers’ efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria now commands in the comity of nations.
“There is dignity in labour; we have to have dedication and commitment to the work we do because it is vital to nation-building”, he stated.
The minister urges workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the regime of President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd)’s drive to upgrade the vehicle of governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation.
The minister commended all security agencies for the successes recorded in the fight against criminals across the country, as he encouraged them not to relent but go all out to deter the criminals whenever they raised their heads.
