The Minority Caucus in the House
of Representatives has applauded the Nigerian workers for their commitment and
sacrifices towards the stability and development of the nation, despite the
challenges that confront them in the line of duty.
The Minority Leader of the House
of Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, in a congratulatory message on Workers’
Day celebration today, Friday May1st, 2020, described the workers "as the
critical drivers of our national development, whose efforts and contributions
towards the success of the Nigerian project remain inestimable".
Elumelu emphasized that the
“Minority Caucus and indeed all Nigerians enormously appreciate the sacrifices
of the Nigerian workers particularly, at this time when those in the health and
other essential services are risking their lives on the front line to protect
the nation from the spread and impact of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
The Minority leader described
the theme of this year’s Workers’ Day celebrations; “STOP THE PANDEMIC”, as apt
and further portrays the selflessness and patriotism of the workers in the
fight against the pandemic.
Elumelu stressed that the
minority caucus is not "unmindful of the challenges being faced by the
workers, particularly at this time and will continue to ensure that no effort
is spared to guarantee their welfare, safety, conducive working conditions as
well as their health needs, in consonance with globally accepted standards”.
He stated:"As
representatives of the people, we will continue to appreciate the contributions
of our workers, especially those at the front line, in the fight against the
Covid-19 pandemic. You have indeed demonstrated courage, commitment and
unparalleled acts of heroism which would continue to be celebrated even by
generations yet unborn.”
The Minority leader however
urged the workers not to relent but continue in their selfless service to the
nation.
Elumelu further charged the
workers to continue to adhere to all health safety regulations including the
wearing of face masks, maintaining social and physical distancing as well as
observing all protocols of personal hygiene, especially as some of them prepare
to go back to their regular work places.
"The Minority Caucus
sincerely congratulates our workers on this auspicious occasion and prays that
their efforts and contributions to nation building will not be in vain.
