Archbishop Daniel Okoh, president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, has urged employers and the government to guarantee that workers are treated with respect and dignity and that they have favorable working conditions.
In a written statement on Monday, Archbishop Okoh made the request and reaffirmed CAN’s commitment to advancing the health and well-being of Nigerian workers.
The Christian Association of Nigeria sent its warmest greetings to all Nigerian workers on May Day this year, according to a portion of the message. As we observe this day, we pay tribute to the important contributions made by Nigerian workers to the expansion and advancement of our magnificent country.
“We commend the resilience, dedication, and hard work of Nigerian workers, who have continued to drive the economy forward despite the numerous challenges facing the nation. We recognize the sacrifices they make daily to ensure that their families and the nation at large have a better future.”
“As Christians, we believe that work is not just a means of earning a living but also a means of fulfilling our God-given purpose on earth. We, therefore, encourage all Nigerian workers to continue to approach their work with diligence, excellence, and integrity, knowing that their labour is not in vain.
