Senate president Bukola Saraki on Sunday,
May 1, urged Nigerian workers to be more
committed in their service to the nation
especially at this time of economic strain.
He said the growth of the economy and
overall development of the country depends
on how much support workers give to
Government’s policies, programmes and
projects.
In a solidarity message to mark the May day
celebrations signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his
special adviser, media and publicity, Saraki
expressed his appreciation and commended
Nigerian workers and the organized labour
movement in the country for their
contributions to the nation’s economic
growth and overall development.
He said from the pre-independence era till
now, the labour movement has provided the
backbone for the survival of the country.




Saraki also lauded their resilience and
support for the change movement that
brought in the All Progressives Congress
(APC) government led by President
Muhammadu Buhari to power at the federal
level.
He reiterated his promise that the Senate
will continue to partner with the leadership
of the organized Labour in the country in
addressing issues of national importance as
it did during the 2016 budget process and
when the electricity tariff rate was increased
by the Distribution companies.
“No doubt we are not in the best of times as a
nation, but with cooperation, dedication and
perseverance we can turn our economy around
for good and the contribution of every Nigerian
worker is key to the realization of this dream.

“This is why I urge you to remain steadfast
and faithful to the efforts being made by the
present administration to revive the economy
and put Nigeria on the path of growth for the
benefit of all Nigerians,” he said.
He also prayed that the economic recovery
programmes of President Buhari will soon
bring prosperity to all workers in particular
and Nigerians in general.
