I’m committed to improving workers’ welfare — Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has affirmed his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of all workers, noting the various relief programs, including the wage award and the imminent minimum wage review.

He made the declaration in a statement issued on Wednesday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, to mark this year’s Workers’ Day.

President Tinubu expressed his strong belief that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair wage and enhanced welfare and that a laborer is deserving of not just any reward but fair and commensurate wages.

The president assured Nigerian workers of his dedication to not only improving their welfare but also enhancing their working conditions and providing the necessary tools for them to succeed.

Tinubu heartily congratulated Nigerian workers on the auspicious occasion of Workers’ Day and saluted them for “their fidelity to the peace, progress, and development of the nation evident in their tireless efforts and patriotic zeal to keep the national engine running.”

According to the statement, he celebrated Nigerian workers “across all spheres – from the clerical officer who ensures the proper documentation and distribution of correspondence; the security officer who remains ever dutiful through all seasons; the teacher who secures the future of our nation by imparting knowledge to the next generation; the doctor who works relentlessly to save precious lives, and to all Nigerian workers who keep the candle aflame.”

The president wished them Happy May Day celebrations.
