The
Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election
and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar congratulates Nigerian
workers on this year's Workers Day, saying that the workers unions in Nigeria
have been a critical partner in the economic development of the country.
Atiku,
in a goodwill message personally signed by him notes that “the labour and sweat
of Nigerian workers constitute the engine and lubricants of our economic growth
and national development."
The
former Vice President eulogies the various labour unions in Nigeria for being
dependable watchdogs that serve the interest of the Nigerian people.
"Over
the years, the various labour unions in Nigeria have played pivotal
intermediary role between the government and the people and the most recent of
which is the agitation for increased minimum wage of N30, 000. I congratulate
the labour unions in Nigeria for this feat and I believe that with the same
kind of determination, it is possible to further improve the lots of the
Nigerian worker.
"With
the efforts and creative energies of Nigerian workers, I believe that it is
very possible to create economic buoyancy in Nigeria and redefine our destiny
in the world as a centre of prosperity and refuse to be the capital of the
world’s poor people.”
"I
want to join several other well-wishers to celebrate with Nigerian workers on
today's Workers Day and also to assure the labour unions of an acknowledgement
of their great sacrifices for the country," Atiku said.
The
former Vice President therefore urges the organized labour under their various
professional unions to embrace the paths of peace, harmony and national unity
in all their engagements with employers of labour and governments at all levels.
