The FCT Minister, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello, has called on labour unions to partner with government towards the successful implementation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the present administration. 

He made the call yesterday in his May 1st goodwill message to Nigerian workers.

He said “Your support would be useful in meeting the objectives of the plan, which include: to diversify the economy, grow skills, create wealth, expand infrastructures and ensure food security.”

“The theme for the year which centres on ‘The Role of Labour in National Development: Dare to Struggle; Dare to Win’, is indeed very apt. Its focuses on national development and reflects the efforts of the present administration to rebuild and restore the declining fortunes of the nation. In this project, the Nigerian labour, indeed, has a pivotal role to play,” he said.  

Bello stressed that “right from the cradle of the Nigerian nation, no group has made more sacrifices and paid a greater price than the Nigerian worker…From among the labour, the finest crop of citizens, whose patriotic efforts drive our industries and social services are found.”
