Obi Urges FG to Take Workers Welfare Seriously
NIGERIA cannot get anything right unless workers’ welfare is taken care of, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party – LP, in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has said.
“All we want is to build a country where Nigerians will be proud to say that they are Nigerians, a country where people will not be struggling to go out, a country where all of us workers will say they are working and happy,’’ Obi, said on Monday at the commemoration of this year’s May Day celebrations at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
“We can’t get the economy right, we can’t get anything right until the workers are working and they are being looked after — their welfare and everything — and they are productive. That is why we say we will move it from consumption to production, the former Anambra State Governor added.
He urged the workers to continue what they are doing, saying they should remain ‘’law-abiding” for a peaceful Nigeria.
