Immediate Past National Assistant Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ewenode.O William, has hailed the courageous spirit of Nigerian workers on the occasion of the historic May Day celebration.
Ewenode who Commemorated with worker on this auspicious occasion of the International Workers Day, expressed his felicitation with all Nigerian Workers.
It is on record that Workers across the World are celebrated on May 1st of every year which is christen Workers Day
He said, In Nigeria, we also reserved same day as our Workers Day. But the worry with the Nigeria case is the pathetic case of the Nigerian Worker.
He lamented on the poor conditions of Workers Welfare in the country.
“How much is the minimum wage of the average worker in Nigeria?. How has the retirees who served creditably fared in Nigeria? Why are there so much lip service to the welfare and wellbeing of the Nigerian Workers? Who are the oppressors of the Nigerian Workers? The questions are legion just as the problems of the Nigerian Workers.
“One would have expected the Government at all levels to take stock of the legion of problems facing the workers and proffer way forward but what we hear on most May days is fanciful speeches and promises thereafter the event ends.
“May I at this point commend Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State for increasing the minimum wage of the Edo State Worker to N40,000 and taking other bold steps for the well being of the retirees of the. State.
“My May Day counsel to Nigerian Workers is that they should wake up from their slumber, get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) ready to express their feelings at the forth coming elections.
“Once again, congratulations to all Nigerian Workers on this day of the international Workers Day.”
