The Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Akogun Lere Oyewumi, has felicitated with Nigerian workers on the occasion of the Workers’ Day celebration. He described Nigerian workers as the central bedrocks on which the building blocks of Nigeria’s national development are laid. He called on workers to hold onto those values that encourage productivity in the nation and urged them to remain steadfast.
Sen. Lere Oyewumi commends and appreciates workers for their patience and patriotism, especially in the face of daunting economic challenges. "I salute all workers for their sacrifices, patriotism, resilience, and contributions in the nation's building; without you, there can be no development in the country. Hence, we must always recognize and celebrate the crucial roles that our workers have played and continue to play in all that we have achieved as a nation," he said
The lawmaker who celebrates with workers under the banners of the Nigeria Labor Congress and Trade Union Congress insisted that workers' welfare should always be placed on any administration’s front burner and given priority by the government and employers of labor because the workers are contributors to the development and nation-building of the country.
While encouraging workers not to be disheartened by the many challenges that, according to him, pervade the economic and political space of the nation, Senator Oyewumi urged everyone to remain focused on building a more productive and prosperous nation, which, he said, was part of the offerings of the renewed hope in the country.
