The Federal Government has declared Monday and Tuesday, May 2 and 3 as public holidays to mark this year’s Workers Day and Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.

RAUF AREGBESOLA, the Minister of Interior, made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.

He congratulated workers across the country on the occasion and commended their hard work, diligence, and sacrifice.

The minister believes their efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria commands in the comity of nations.

AREGBESOLA, therefore, enjoined the workers to imbibe the culture of productivity, saying “The end of work is productivity.

The minister urged workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration’s drive to rev up the vehicle of governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation.
