The federal government has declared Monday, 2nd, and Tuesday, 3rd May 2022 as public holidays to mark Workers Day and Eidul-Fitr celebrations in this year’s calendar. The Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, made the declaration on behalf of the federal government in a press statement signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday. The minister, “Labour is the very essence of humanity. We are alive because we work and only the dead is incapable of working.” He added, “The end of work is productivity. It is productivity that leads to the satisfactory provision of goods and services and wealth creation. It is, therefore, the path to national and individual prosperity.”
