Worker’s Day: Federal Govt Declares Monday Public Holiday

The Federal Government has declared Monday, May 1, 2023 a public holiday to mark this year’s Worker’s Day celebration.

Aregbesola, in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Shuaib Belgore, lauded Nigerian workers for their hard work, diligence and sacrifice.

He added that workers’ efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria now commands in the comity of nations.
