The Federal Government has declared Thursday, May 1, 2025, as a public holiday to mark Workers’ Day.

The Ministry of Interior’s Permanent Secretary, Dr Magdalene Ajani, made this known in a statement on Thursday, April 29.

Ajani quoted the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, as reiterating the need for peace to drive industrialisation and economic growth.

Tunji-Ojo commended workers for their diligence and sacrifice, noting that workers’ efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commands in the comity of nations.

“There is dignity in labour; the dedication and commitment to the work we do, is vital to nation-building so I hereby urge you to imbibe the culture of innovation and productivity,” the minister said.
