President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerian workers that it would tackle all socio-economic ills that have troubled the nation.
He said his administration would effect positive change in the lives of the average Nigerians, to ensure that the downtrodden are elevated, NAN reports.
The president made this declaration in Abuja on Sunday, May 1, at the 2016 May Day celebration with the theme: “ The Working Class and The Quest for Socio-Economic Revival “.

Buhari, who was represented by Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment, said: “ For us whose main foreign exchange comes from oil, the global decline in the price of oil has further exacerbated our economic crises.

“The resultant effect of this are noticeable in government’s dwindling resources, reduction in operational capacities of most companies especially in the oil and gas sector, threats of workforce reduction by multinationals, among others.
“These developments no doubt, have socio-economic implication for the economy as well as the working class.
“I make no excuses, for this government of the APC is determined to tackle the socio-economic ills head-long .”
Buhari said those in power had the responsibility of aligning themselves with the working class who make development possible, by generating and sustaining the momentum of positive change.
He noted that the government would continue to seek the cooperation of labour for the development and progress of the country.
The president said corruption, which has enriched the very few to the detriment of the majority of Nigerians will be fought.
According to him, the fight against corruption particularly in the public service requires the workers to play major roles by cooperating with the government.

In this fight against corruption, I need you all to be very willing partners.
“I request your cooperation and understanding, as partners in progress,” he added.
Buhari gave the assurance that the present administration will protect workers’ rights and promote incentives for great productivity and hence, greater posterity.
