Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the incoming president of Nigeria, has vowed to implement a decent wage for employees in his country.
He promised to do everything in his power to implement policies aimed at empowering Nigerian workers in a message of solidarity on International Workers’ Day.
In his administration, according to Tinubu, the working class will have a dependable ally and partner in the struggle for social and economic justice for all Nigerians, including the working class.
“Your fight will be my fight because I will always fight for you. My plans for better welfare and working conditions are clearly spelt out in my Renewed Hope Agenda for A Better Nigeria. It is a covenant born of conviction and one I am prepared to keep,” he said.
Tinubu, however, demanded a better understanding and cooperation from all sides, ahead of the tough and hard decisions that may be taken while at the helm of affairs of the country.
Recalling the patriotic role played by workers over the years, he thereby extended his hands of friendship to the Nigerian workers through the two central Labour unions – Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress.
