The House of Representatives Minority Caucus has called for a living wage for Nigerian workers and better condition of service as labour marks this year’s May Day celebrations.
In a message signed by the Minority Leader, Rep Kingsley Chinda, tagged: ‘Solidarity Message To Nigerian Workers On The Occasion Of Workers’ Day’, the Caucus again reminded the Federal Government on the need to pay a living wage that can take Nigerian workers home.
The message read, “Today, as we celebrate the resilience and contributions of Nigerian workers, the backbone of our nation’s development, we stand in unwavering solidarity with Nigerian workers across all sectors and facets, while acknowledging their tireless efforts and sacrifices.
“Doubtless, today is a poignant reminder of the invaluable contributions of workers to our nation’s growth and prosperity.
“As we mark this Workers’ Day, and honour the contributions of workers, let us recognise the challenges faced by workers, including poor working conditions, inadequate remuneration, and erosion of workers’ rights, reaffirm our collective responsibility to advocate for a fairer, more inclusive society where every worker is treated with dignity and respect.
The Representatives reiterated the commitments to address these issues through legislative actions and advocacy.
