The Federal Government has announced that Thursday, May 1, 2025, will be a public holiday to mark this year’s Workers’ Day Celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, confirmed this in a statement released on Tuesday on behalf of the Federal Government.
Tunji-Ojo commended workers for their diligence and sacrifice, noting that workers’ efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commands in the comity of nations.
”There is dignity in labour; the dedication and commitment to the work we do is vital to nation-building”, the minister said.
Tunji-Ojo, therefore, urged workers to imbibe the culture of innovation and productivity.
He 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.
“This Administration is fully committed to the security of life and property of every citizen and foreigners in the country, ” he assured the citizens.
“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,” he added
