Mrs Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has praised workers on the frontline fighting against the spread of COVID-19.
Mrs Buhari in a video alongside wives of some state governors commended the frontline workers. The video also had President Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo celebrating workers in commemoration of Workers Day.
Also, Mrs. Buhari through her Twitter page wrote: “As we celebrate this year’s Workers Day, we have come together from different parts of the country to put our hands together and clap for all the frontline healthcare workers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, who have put their lives on the line on behalf of our dear nation.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government on Thursday assured workers that it will ensure that people retain their jobs.
Minister of Labour, Mr Chris Ngige, in his May Day message signed by his Spokesman promised that the government would look at the four-pillar plan of policy responses to the pandemic laid out by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). He also added that all factors to ensure job retention would be analyzed.
