The National President of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has congratulated all workers in the country as they mark the 2026 Labor Day celebration, commending their resilience, patriotism and steadfast contributions to the growth and development of Nigeria.

Abimbola Tooki, his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, on Friday said that to mark the occasion, Professor Yilwatda paid warm tribute to Nigerian workers across all sectors of the economy, stressing that their sacrifices, diligence and commitment remain the backbone of national progress.

He particularly recognized the resilience and understanding demonstrated by workers in the face of current economic realities, describing their perseverance as a testament to the strength and character of the Nigerian people.

The APC National Chairman assured workers that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deeply committed to promoting policies and programs that prioritize the well-being, dignity and prosperity of the Nigerian workforce.
