“On this Workers’ Day, the PRP calls on the Nigerian government to prioritize policies that will uplift the living standards of workers and the less privileged.

“This includes implementing a living wage policy, improving social protection measures, and investing in quality education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

“A prosperous and equitable Nigeria is only possible when the needs and welfare of its working-class citizens are given due attention.

“The PRP remains committed to the cause of the Nigerian workers and the downtrodden. We pledge to work tirelessly to ensure that their voices are heard and their rights are protected.

“Together, we shall build a nation where the dignity of labor is truly valued, and all citizens have equal opportunities to thrive,” the party said.
