President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerian workers, describing them as the backbone of the nation’s economy.
In a message posted on his official X handle on Thursday to commemorate the 2025 Workers’ Day, the President praised the dedication and contributions of workers across various sectors of the economy.

“To every Nigerian worker, Happy Workers’ Day. You are the engine of our economy and the secret to our nation’s growth. Our administration has and will continue to prioritise workers’ welfare. Together, we will make Nigeria great again,” Tinubu said.
He further extended his appreciation to workers across age groups and sectors, recognising their role in national development.
“Here’s to everyone – young and old, entrepreneur or employee, in the private or public sector – whose meaningful contributions help in no small way to the development of our homes, communities, and our dear nation. Happy Workers’ Day, Nigeria,” he added.
President Tinubu’s message comes amid renewed calls by labour unions for improved salaries, better working conditions, and an upward review of the national minimum wage.
