The Federal Government has declared Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd May, 2022 as Public Holidays to mark this year\u2019s Workers Day and EIdel-Fitr Celebrations.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.
\nHe congratulates workers across the country on this year\u2019s celebration.<\/p>\n

Ogbeni Aregbesola commended workers for their hard work, diligence and sacrifice, noting that their efforts are largely responsible for the greatness of the country and the respect Nigeria now commands in the comity of nations.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, \u201cLabour is the very essence of humanity. We are alive because we work and only the dead is incapable of working\u201d<\/p>\n

Ogbeni Aregbesola therefore enjoins workers to imbibe the culture of productivity, saying \u201cThe end of work is productivity. It is productivity that leads to satisfactory provision of goods and services and wealth creation. It is therefore the path to national and individual prosperity\u201d
\nHe urges workers to raise the bar of their trade in line with the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration\u2019s drive to rev up the vehicle of governance and make all the people of Nigeria derive maximum benefit from the nation.<\/p>\n

The Minister also congratulates all Muslims for the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Ogbeni Aregbesola calls on all Muslims to imbibe and practice the virtues of kindness, love, tolerance, peace, self-denial, sacrifice and good neighbourliness, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).<\/p>

\u201cThe self-restrain, self-denial, sacrifice and deep spiritual consciousness that accompanied the fasting period should not end but be maintained and improved upon, in order to be a better person and true worshipper\u201d, the minister advises all Muslims.<\/p>\n

The minister expresses confidence that the security challenges in some parts of the country will soon be a thing of the past, noting that the government is putting determined efforts and all necessary measures in place for Nigerians to enjoy unfettered peace all round.<\/p>\n

Ogbeni Aregbesola assures Nigerians that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is fully committed to the security of life and property of every citizen and foreigners alike.<\/p>\n

The Minister commends all security agencies for the successes recorded in the fight against criminals across the country and the peace that has returned to the formerly embattled places.
\nHe urges Nigerians to be part of the nation\u2019s security architecture by being vigilant and reporting suspicious individuals and activities to law enforcement agencies nearest to them, noting that security is everybody\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n

Ogbeni Aregbesola wishes all Muslims a happy Eidul-Fitr celebration and prays that the peace, blessings and favours of Allah be with you all. Ameen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
