The administration at the federal level has announced that Monday, the 1st of May, will be observed as a public holiday in recognition of this year’s commemoration of Workers’ Day in Nigeria.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, conveyed the announcement on behalf of the government in an official statement endorsed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore.
Aregbesola, therefore, enjoined workers to imbibe the culture of productivity, saying: “The end of work is productivity. It is productivity that leads to value creation, satisfactory provision of goods and services, and wealth creation. It is, therefore, the path to national and individual prosperity”
The Minister applauded all security agents for the successes recorded in the fight against criminals across the country and encouraged them not to relent.
