The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep, Abbas Tajudeen, has celebrated workers in Nigeria, saying their contributions to the growth and development of the country cannot be quantified.
In his goodwill message to commemorate this year’s May Day celebration, also known as Workers’ Day, which is celebrated on May 1 every year, Speaker Abbas said the House would continue to recognise workers as “partners in progress.”
The Speaker hailed workers, especially the organised labour, under the umbrellas of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for their immeasurable roles in the economy, describing them as the “engine room.”
Speaker Abbas noted that workers deserve better welfare and the labour unions should be commended for understanding with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration concerning their welfare, following the current difficult economic realities.
While urging workers to continue to offer their services with zeal and patriotism, the Speaker called for more productivity, noting that only the citizens can sustain their fatherland.
Speaker Abbas wished Nigerian workers happy celebrations.
