The Federal Government has declared Monday, May 1, 2017 as public holiday to commemorate the 2017 Workers’ Day celebration.

The Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (retd.) made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government in a statement on Friday by the Director, Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido.

He congratulated Nigerian workers for their resilience, hard work and commitment to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari despite current challenges.

The minister urged them to continue to support the President “in his desire to fight corruption, ensure security of lives and property, and stabilize the economy through creation of jobs and diversification of the economy.”

Dambazau further urged the workers to re-educate themselves to the service of the nation and to remain productive for the growth and development of the country, particularly now that the government is embarking on the implementation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.

The minister wishes all Nigerian workers a joyful and peaceful celebration, the statement added.

Hope the workers can now start working from home...

That is normal. But the FG should create more jobs, so youth can be gainfully employed.

Waawuu!!

What the workers need now is increase in minimum wage nd not public holiday.

Where is Mynd44 sef?

"He congratulated Nigerian workers for their resilience, hard work and commitment to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari despite current challenges."

Useless press release - when is salary and wage gonna be increased?

Useless government of hardship

A failed government that has kept many of its civil servants and security agencies in abject poverty living from hand to mouth risking their lives and feeding like ants and our politheifcians are looting and feeding fats at the expense of our sweats ..
What a failed celebration even April salary has not been paid and somebody should celebrate failure what are we celebrating,

How I wish I'm a soldier or a security man guiding any of this politheifcians I will just shoot you on may 1st

all those posters above me, direct your anger to the state governments who are still owing workers salary. Federal government job is one of the best in the world comparing what toy do and what you get paid.

Happy Holiday
Tho things are a bit tight all over now, but show someone love during this hols, make someone happy, it could be an outsider or a member of your household. Just out a smile on someone's face. It will be well.

Those first 5 posters above are in para-mode o!

I feel your pain but imagine that in the future you need to schedule a life saving or multi million contract meeting with the president, governor or even your local government councillor and this post was dug up and attributed to you.
Do you think you will still be granted that meeting?
Even when we are tabling our agitation, let's do so with sense.
Nobody knows tomorrow
