Senate President Godswill Akpabio has assured Nigerian workers that they will not suffer any form of victimization during his tenure.
He gave this assurance in commemoration of International Workers’ Day, a global celebration recognizing the contributions of workers.
In his message, Akpabio commended Nigerian workers for their steadfastness and resilience in the face of economic hardships.
He acknowledged their vital role in national development and praised their commitment, even during challenging times.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio stressed that the administration of President Bola Tinubu, along with the 10th National Assembly, is committed to safeguarding workers’ rights.
He reiterated that his leadership would not tolerate any form of victimization against workers, including those asserting their rights or pursuing justice through legal means.
“Today, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of Nigerian workers. We, in the Senate—and of course, the National Assembly—acknowledge your invaluable contributions to our nation’s development,” Akpabio stated.
“Under our watch, no Nigerian worker will be victimized for expressing themselves, whether in demanding their rights or seeking legal redress.”
He further commended workers for their resilience despite challenges, recognizing their role in driving the economy forward.
“Despite obvious difficulties, you remain the backbone of our economy. I salute your unwavering commitment to excellence and productivity. Your contributions are vital to our nation’s progress.”
Akpabio also assured workers that the 10th National Assembly would continue to prioritize their welfare, with labor-friendly legislation aimed at improving their conditions of service and respecting their rights.
“Nigerian workers are our pride, and we will not shirk our responsibility to work with the Executive to address your concerns and create opportunities for growth and prosperity. Together, we shall build a brighter future for Nigerian workers and our great nation.”
“On behalf of my family, constituents, and the 10th National Assembly, I heartily rejoice with the workers and wish them a fruitful and peaceful celebration,” he added.
