On this 2026 Workers’ Day, All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigerian workers, praising their resilience, patriotism, and vital role in driving the nation’s growth.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Prof. Yilwatda honored workers across all sectors for their sacrifices, diligence, and steadfast commitment, the true backbone of Nigeria’s progress.
He spotlighted their endurance amid tough economic times, calling it a powerful reflection of the Nigerian spirit. Yilwatda also reaffirmed President Tinubu’s dedication to worker welfare and bold economic reforms.
The APC National Chairman assured workers that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deeply committed to promoting policies and programmes that prioritize the welfare, dignity, and prosperity of the Nigerian workforce.
He emphasized that the President remains a worker-friendly leader who understands the central role of labour in nation-building.
Professor Yilwatda further noted that the ongoing economic reforms introduced by the current administration are critical and inevitable steps toward repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth and long-term prosperity.
He explained that key policy measures, including the removal of fuel subsidy, unification of the foreign exchange system, increased investment in infrastructure, expansion of social intervention programmes, and a renewed focus on industrialization, are aimed at addressing longstanding structural challenges within the economy.
According to him, these reforms are designed to stimulate productivity, enhance economic stability, attract both local and foreign investments, and create more opportunities for employment and wealth creation.
While acknowledging that the transition may present short-term challenges, he assured that the government is implementing targeted interventions to cushion the effects and ensure that the gains of these reforms are broadly shared among Nigerians.
The APC Chairman reiterated that the sacrifices being made by workers today are not in vain, expressing confidence that the ongoing reforms will ultimately lead to a more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient economy that benefits all citizens.
He called on Nigerian workers to remain steadfast, hopeful, and united in their support for the nation’s development agenda, stressing that collective effort and shared commitment are essential to achieving the Nigeria of everyone’s aspiration.
Professor Yilwatda wished all Nigerian workers a happy and fulfilling Workers’ Day celebration, praying for continued strength, progress, and prosperity for them and their families.
