The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer for the 2023 presidential election and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar while celebrating with Nigerian workers highlighted their roles in the growth and development of the country.

While giving a speech on Thursday to celebrate 2025 workers day, he called on the federal government see workers as an vital members necessary for building a great nation.

In the speech, he commended the workers for their resilience and dedication towards the growth of the country. Atiku also expressed disappointment at the federal government who refused to recognize and adequately reward the workers.

He said, “The Nigerian worker stands as the indomitable engine propelling our nation towards its long-sought prosperity.

“In the face of relentless hardship and meager compensation, Nigerian workers have continued to bear the burdens of our economic aspirations with silent heroism. Yet, it is disheartening that those entrusted with the reins of policy and governance have failed to reciprocate this steadfast commitment with tangible acts of support and justice.

“The labour force is the soul of our nation. It is both the face and the force of the people. It is thus imperative that governments and employers alike erect unyielding safeguards to protect the dignity, benefits, and entitlements that justly belong to the worker.

“I hereby urge policy makers to draw inspiration from the theme of this year’s celebration, and to embrace the labour force not as a mere tool but as an equal partner in the journey to national greatness.”
