The Federal Government of Nigeria has declared Monday, May 1, as Public Holiday to mark this year’s Workers Day Celebration.

Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior, made this known on Friday.

He commended workers for their hard work, diligence and sacrifice, pointing out that their efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commands in the comity of nations.

”There is dignity in labour, we have to have dedication  and commitment to the work you do, because it is vital to nation building”, the Minister said.

He therefore urged workers to imbibe the Culture of productivity, saying “The end of work is productivity. It is productivity that leads to satisfactory provision of goods and services and wealth creation. It is therefore the path to national and individual prosperity.

The Interior Minister also urged workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration’s drive to upgrade the vehicle of governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation.

He commended all security agencies for the successes recorded in the fight against criminals across the country, even as he enjoined them not to relent but go all out to deter the criminals whenever they raise their heads.

Aregbesola assured Nigerians that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is fully committed to the security of life and property of every citizen and foreigners in the country and will not slowdown in any area, even as the administration winds down.

He therefore called on all Nigerians to be part of the nation’s security architecture by being vigilant and reporting suspicious individuals and activities to law enforcement agencies nearest to them, noting that security is everybody’s responsibility.

The minister asked citizens to report security threats by making use of the N-Alert Application on Android and iOS.
