May Day: DNKI salutes Nigerian workers, says they deserve the best

A global humanitarian organization, De Norsemen Klub International (DNKI) has paid glowing tribute to workers all over the world.

Its Lagos State Chapter also called Tamandu Marine Patrol decried the undignifying conditions of many workers in Nigeria declaring that the Nigerian worker deserved the best.

In a goodwill message jointly issued to commemorate this year’s Workers' Day, Charles Ubani (Chairman) and Pius Ogwuilu (Public Relations Officer), said the Lagos State Chapter proudly celebrates and honours the resilience, dedication, and unwavering spirit of all workers across the nation.

The group praised the recent welfare package unveiled for workers by the federal government but urged employers of labour in both the public and private sectors of the economy to put the workers first. 

According to them, as drivers of the economy, people who toil day and night to keep the system running, should receive commensurate welfare to give their best.

"Today, we recognize the men and women whose daily efforts drive the engine of progress. Those who, through commitment and sacrifice, continue to build and sustain both the public and private sectors of our great country.

"Your contributions are the foundation upon which growth, stability, and development stand. In every office, field, factory, and institution, your impact is seen, felt, and deeply appreciated.

"As we celebrate you, we encourage all workers to remain steadfast, hopeful, and committed to excellence, knowing that your labour is not in vain," the DNKI stated.
