"Every first day in the month of May provides an opportunity to salute the efforts of the labouring hands behind the socio-economic balance of our great country - Nigeria.
I join millions of Nigerians not only to felicitate, but also to commend the boundless efforts and sacrifices by Nigerian workers. In the quest of ensuring sustainability, stability, tranquility, and social growth of our fatherland, the civil servants remain the gear and the driving force.Today therefore will remain an historic day of appreciation.
I use this opportunity to implore our dear workers nationwide to remain steadfast and courageous as Nigeria passes through the current economic turmoil which has created the Challenges of some states not being able to pay salaries on time. This I believe our president elect will urgently and aggressively attend to.
I commend the Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress for the leadership they provide for Nigerian workers and urge them to close ranks to hold a united front to assist the 8th assembly to build on the achievements of improving work conditions in Nigeria.
The labour of our heroes, past and present, must never be in vain. As a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, i am committed to raising and supporting Bills that will create jobs, protect the Nigerian workers and improve our work environment.
Happy Workers' Day."
