A May Day message by the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari. On 1st of May, Buhari sent
a message to workers in Nigeria praising them
for what he termed the ”sacrifices of the
Nigerian working class” in the face of economic
tough times in their everyday struggle to survive.
He also assured workers in the country that his
administration would focus on boosting morale
in order to increase productivity and income.
The President-elect also lamented the hardship
suffered by workers in the country which he said
had been worsened by years of poor governance
and corruption.
Buhari also expressed sadness at the irony of
Nigeria’s oil wealth, characterized with rising
poverty while a few corrupt officials were making
themselves very rich at the expense of people’s
wealth.
