You’re the backbone of our nation – Tinubu salutes workers
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hailed Nigerian workers as the cornerstone of the nation’s progress, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to improving their welfare and economic standing.
In a message to mark Workers’ Day, shared on his verified X handle (@officialABAT), President Tinubu praised the contributions of workers across all sectors—both public and private—describing them as the “engine of our economy” and key players in building a prosperous Nigeria.
“Our administration has and will continue to prioritise workers’ welfare. Together, we will make Nigeria great again,” the President said in his statement, which struck a tone of solidarity and appreciation.

Acknowledging the efforts of individuals across age groups and professions, Tinubu saluted entrepreneurs, civil servants, and private sector employees for their roles in sustaining communities and advancing national development.
“Here’s to everyone—young and old, entrepreneur or employee, public or private sector—whose meaningful contributions help shape our homes, communities, and our dear nation,” he added.
President Tinubu’s tribute came against the backdrop of his administration’s ongoing economic reforms aimed at improving living conditions through infrastructure upgrades, social investment programs, and labour-friendly initiatives.
The Workers’ Day message also aligns with broader government efforts to promote inclusive growth, job creation, and stronger engagement with labour unions, especially at a time when rising inflation and living costs have placed increasing pressure on working families.
As Nigerians commemorate May Day, the President’s recognition offers reassurance to a workforce long seen as resilient, adaptable, and indispensable in the nation’s journey toward economic recovery and long-term stability.
