Labour Party Advocates for Better Pay on Workers' Day

On May 1, the Labour Party issued a statement from its national public secretary in Abuja, congratulating Nigerian workers on Workers' Day. The party highlighted the significance of the day, which has been recognized since 2003, and reiterated its commitment to advocating for the rights and welfare of workers.

The statement emphasized the need for continued prioritization of policies that uplift workers and protect their interests, especially in light of prevailing economic challenges. While acknowledging recent efforts by the current administration, including an increase in the minimum wage, the Labour Party argued that these measures are inadequate given the current economic realities.

Asogwa, representing the party, praised the efforts of organized labor, particularly the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, in advocating for workers' rights. The party urged workers to remain committed to its cause and expressed optimism about future victories for the people.
