President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said his administration is committed to improving the welfare of all workers, saying that minimum wage review is imminent.

The president, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, congratulated Nigerian workers on the auspicious occasion of Workers’ Day held annually to celebrate the lifeblood of the country.

The President saluted Nigerian workers for their fidelity to the peace, progress, and development of the nation evident in their tireless efforts and patriotic zeal to keep the national engine running.

Tinubu celebrated Nigerian workers across all spheres – from the clerical officer who ensures the proper documentation and distribution of correspondence; the security officer who remains ever dutiful through all seasons; the teacher who secures the future of our nation by imparting knowledge to the next generation; the doctor who works relentlessly to save precious lives, and to all Nigerian workers who keep the candle aflame.

The President affirmed that his administration remains committed to improving the welfare of all workers, noting the various relief programmes, including the wage award and the imminent minimum wage review.

Tinubu strongly believed that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserved a fair wage and enhanced welfare and that a labourer is deserving of not just any reward but fair and commensurate wages.

The President assured Nigerian workers of his dedication to not only improving their welfare but also enhancing their working conditions and providing the necessary tools for them to succeed.
