Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that workers play a crucial role in helping the country to grow and achieve its aims.
This was contained in a statement to commemorate the 2025 Workers’ Day on Thursday, he called on the Federal Government to see workers not just as tools for economic growth but as important partners in building a great nation.
The vice president said “The Nigerian worker remains the indomitable engine driving our nation towards the long-anticipated promise of prosperity.
“In the face of persistent hardship and inadequate remuneration, Nigerian workers have continued to shoulder the burdens of our economic ambitions with quiet heroism.
“It is deeply disheartening that those entrusted with the responsibilities of governance and policymaking have failed to respond to this unwavering dedication with tangible support and justice,” the statement added.
