May Day 2025: Peoples Redemption Party salutes Nigerian workers

The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has commended Nigerian workers for their commitment and resilience towards the growth and development of Nigeria.

The PRP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, called on the federal and state governments to ensure that workers’ rights are upheld and that they are fairly compensated for their labour.

It said the contributions of the workers and working people are the bedrock upon which the Nigerian society is built.

The party added that every day, workers face challenges that demand resilience, dedication and unwavering commitment in the face of economic uncertainties and social injustices.

The PRP pledged to continue advocating for the welfare of all Nigerians, particularly the working class and urban and rural poor, urging all citizens to stand together in pursuit of a just and equitable society where the dignity of labour is honored, and the voices of the workers are heard.

“We take this opportunity to honour and appreciate the invaluable contributions of our workers, whose efforts drive the wheels of progress, foster economic vitality, and sustain our national development.

“As we celebrate this day, we acknowledge the long-standing struggles of our workers for fair wages, job security, and improved working conditions.

“Today, we must not only commemorate the achievements of workers but also reflect on the significant hurdles that remain. We must prioritize policies that promote decent work, protect labour rights, and create an enabling environment for our workers to thrive.

“As we celebrate May Day, let us commit ourselves to building a Nigeria where every worker is valued, esteemed, and afforded the respect they so richly deserve. Together, we can create a brighter future for our nation,” the statement read.

DAILY POST reports that May Day, observed annually on May 1st, has a rich history rooted in the struggle for workers’ rights and social justice.
