He said that the various economic stabilisation policies by the government and the establishment of the Economic Sustainability Committee by the President, which is headed by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, was a clear demonstration of the seriousness the Federal Government attached to the well-being of Nigerian workers in particular, and Nigerians in general.

urging the workers not to relent in their support for the present administration as they battle COVID-19, in addition to getting the nation's economy back on its trajectory of growth as quickly as possible.

According to statement "the 2020 International Workers’ Day, also known as Labour Day, or May Day, comes at a time the world is combating the deadly Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that has kept economies across the world locked down.

"No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented disruption in our normal lives, particularly work. However, the long-term consequences of the pandemic — how it will reshape our work culture, ways of doing business, provision of services and new opportunities — are still difficult to imagine.

"We enjoin Nigerian workers to use the lockdown to equip themselves with information and skills that will enable them productively function in the changing global work culture and tap into opportunities that the eventual and gradual easing of the lockdown will bring.
