The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari,
has inscribed what he referred to as the sacrifices of the Nigerian working
class in the face of economic tough times in their everyday struggle to
survive.
In his May Day message to the Nigerian workers, Buhari
said he was aware of the hardships of workers which he said were compounded by
poor governance and corruption in the country.
According to him, the Nigerian working class are among
the worst hit social groups on account of poor living standards, a situation,
he said, was inconsistent with Nigeria’s vast oil wealth.
Buhari expressed dismay at the paradox of
Nigeria’s oil wealth, characterised with rising poverty while a few corrupt
officials were making themselves very rich at the expense of people’s wealth.
Buhari reassured Nigerian workers that his incoming
administration would be committed to boosting their morale in order to increase
productivity and their income.
