Workers Day: The Wealth And Growth Of Every Nation Rests On The Labour Force — NBA President, Akpata

The President of the Nigerian Bar Association has celebrated Nigerian labour force as the world marks Workers Day this year.

In a statement made available to The Lawyer, Akpata belaboured that the wealth, growth and progress of every establishment rests on the labour force.

According to him, the International Workers Day provides an opportunity to appreciate members of this “growth propelling force” for their immense contributions.

He also noted that it is also an opportune moment of introspection to reflect on the timeless values of hard work, the dignity of labour; and the need for adequate attention to be paid to the rights and welfare of our workers by the government and all relevant stakeholders.

In his words: “On the occasion of this year’s International Workers day celebration, the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Olumide Akpata, on behalf of the Association celebrates the Nigerian Labour force, as well as workers all over the world. The NBA calls on the government to make more deliberate interventions to ensure the elevation of the status of the average worker, by addressing all labour-related issues that have altogether negatively impacted our national growth and productivity.”

Happy Workers’ Day.
