President Bola Tinubu has pledged better living and working conditions for all Nigerians of working age, saying the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair wage and enhanced welfare.
Tinubu made this pledge in his maiden May Day message dedicated to workers nationwide.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed the President’s remarks in a statement he signed Wednesday titled ‘President Tinubu salutes Nigerian workers on May Day.
According to Ngelale, the President affirmed that his administration remains committed to improving the welfare of all workers, noting the various relief programmes, including the wage award and the imminent minimum wage review.
His remarks come amid a cost of living crisis believed to be the aftermath of hardline economic reforms pursued by his administration.
When he assumed office on May 29, 2023, Tinubu implemented the discontinuance of subsidies on petrol as approved by the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari.
