In a message shared on the Official PDP Nigeria X platform on Friday, the Secretary of the BoT, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, and the Chairman of the BoT, Sen. Adolphus Wabara, paid tribute to workers across the country for their resilience and contributions to national growth.

The message read in part: “Happy Workers’ Day! May the labour of our workers not be in vain. Every worker deserves the cover of an umbrella to shield them from the harsh drops of the current economic rain.”

“Happy Workers’ Day to all the workers,” the statement added.
