As workers around the world observe International Workers’ Day, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged Nigerians, particularly public and private sector workers in the state, to remain productive and dedicated to their jobs.
Governor Sanwo-Olu described workers as the lifeblood of the economy in a statement issued on Saturday by his spokesperson, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, in commemoration of the Year 2022 International Workers’ Day.
He praised all workers in the state for their perseverance, strength, passion, and dedication to the development of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole, urging them not to give up on making positive contributions to the economy.
“Happy Workers’ Day to all our committed and hardworking workers in the public and private sectors,” Sanwo-Olu said. “We appreciate your contributions; they are indeed the lifeblood of our economy because without the contributions of the workers, no government can achieve its dream.
“Nigerian workers are the fabric that makes up the society as a result of their tireless contributions to the socio-economic development of the country. We appreciate all workers, both in the public and private sectors for their patience, strength and commitment to the growth and development of our dear Lagos State and Nigeria.
“As we join the rest of the world today, to celebrate International Workers’ Day, I implore all workers, especially those in Lagos State to remain productive and committed to duty. We must all join hands together to take Lagos to greater heights in line with our administration’s Greater Lagos agenda.
”As a government, we will continue to make the welfare of workers our priority and ensure that we play our role in creating a good working environment for workers in the state. I congratulate all our workers on the 2022 International Workers’ Day,” says Governor Sanwo-Olu.”
