The Federal Government has declared Tuesday, May 1, 2018, as a public holiday to mark the 2018 Workers’ Day celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau (Rtd), made the announcement in a statement on Friday, through the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr M. Umar.
He congratulated Nigerian workers on their loyalty, strength of character, hard work, sacrifice and dedication to building a greater country.
General Dambazau thanked the central role workers played in government activities and decisions, and for sustaining their faith in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, in its resolve to build a better Nigeria.
He, however, solicited the sturdy and continuous support of the workers in government’s effort to re-position the economy and uphold the shared legacy of all Nigerians.
The Minister wished all Nigerian workers a successful May Day celebration.
