Anambra State Governor,, Dr Mrs Nonye Soludo has described workers as the engine that keeps any society in motion.In her goodwill message to mark 2026 Workers’ Day celebration, Dr Mrs Soludo described labour as the foundation of every thriving society, noting that the contributions of workers remain central to national development and progress.
She emphasised that behind every piece of infrastructure, institution, and economic activity lies the dedication and resilience of workers across various sectors.
“To every hand that has ever held a tool, carried a load, typed through the night, swept a floor, nursed a patient, taught a child, or built something greater than themselves, today belongs to you,” she said.
Mrs Soludo stressed that workers are not invisible, but rather the backbone of societal advancement, whose sacrifices deserve recognition and appreciation beyond ceremonial observances.
“You are not invisible. You are the backbone of our progress, and your sacrifices deserve to be honoured and celebrated, not just today, but every day. You’re the world’s truest heroes,” she added.
She called for renewed commitment from government, employers, and citizens to ensure that workers are adequately protected, respected, and rewarded for their contributions.
“As we enter a new month, let May carry fresh momentum – a renewal of commitment to ensure that those who work are protected, respected, and rewarded,” she said.
Mrs Soludo extended her greetings to workers in Anambra State and across Nigeria, reaffirming that their efforts remain vital to building a stronger and more prosperous society.
