The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has praised Nigerian professionals and workers for their dedication and vital contributions to the nation’s development.
In a message to mark Workers’ Day on Thursday, the wife of the President expressed deep appreciation for the commitment of the country’s workforce across all sectors and offered prayers for their continued success.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to all Nigerian workers for your unwavering commitment to nation-building,” she said. “May your efforts continue to bear fruit, and may we, as a nation, always uphold the dignity and value of your labour.”
The First Lady described the occasion as a reminder of the dignity of labour and the collective responsibility to create fair and inclusive opportunities for all.
“I salute the men and women who rise each day to go to work and support our economy. Whether in the public or private sector, formal or informal, Nigerian workers remain the backbone of our development and the driving force of national progress,” she said.
Senator Tinubu also prayed for continued peace and prosperity for Nigeria, wishing workers a happy and fulfilling Workers’ Day celebration.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that International Workers’ Day, observed globally on May 1, is dedicated to celebrating the efforts and achievements of workers. It recognises the vital role played by people in all professions — from educators and healthcare workers to drivers, artisans, and office staff — in shaping the economy and society.
