Today, on Workers’ Day, we pause not just to celebrate labour, but to recognize it as the steady force that shapes our communities and drives collective progress. Across every sector, from public service to private enterprise, the commitment of workers remains the backbone of our shared advancement.
Each day, through consistency, resilience, and a sense of duty, workers uphold the structures that keep our society functioning and evolving. Their efforts—seen and unseen—form the foundation upon which growth and opportunity stand.
As we reflect today, let us renew a shared resolve: to create systems that respect effort, reward excellence, and protect the dignity of every worker—whether in public service, private enterprise, or informal sectors that power our local economies.
To every worker whose contribution keeps our society moving forward—you are seen, you are valued, and you remain central to the future we are building together.
Happy Workers’ Day.
— Rt. Hon. Comfort Ojoma Nwuchiola Egwaba.
Deputy Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly
