May Day: Obi Felicitates With Workers

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has commended Nigerian workers as they celebrate workers’ day today.

In a message made available to the press, the former Governor said that workers throughout the world deserved to be celebrated because from the  labour of their hands the machinery of government was perennially kept afloat. He commended their commitment and efforts in spite of many challenges they face, ranging from what he called “salary issues to poor working conditions defined by paucity of infrastructure.”

While noting that workers were among the people that made the greatest sacrifice for the good and development of the State, he advised them to also take the opportunity of the celebration and look inwards by sparing some moments to reflect on the trajectory the country was moving and resolve to be part of positive changes that would make the country greater.

Obi also called on those that govern states to always take the welfare of workers at heart by prompt payment of their salaries, and as well as by treating pensioners with care and love.
