“As we celebrate this year’s Workers Day, we have come together from different parts of the country to put our hands together and clap for all the frontline healthcare workers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, who have put their lives on the line on behalf of our dear nation.”
This came as on Thursday the Nigerian government assured workers that it will ensure that none of their jobs is put at stake.
The Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, during his May Day speech signed by his spokesman, promised that the federal government would look at the four-pillar plan of policy responses to the pandemic laid out by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
The minister added that all factors that would guarantee job retention would be revisited.
