The gubernatorial aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Chief Yilchini Jan Bida, has paid glowing tribute to Nigerian workers on the occasion of the 2026 Workers’ Day, commending their resilience and pivotal role in national development.
In a statement marking the annual celebration, Bida described Workers’ Day as not just a moment of celebration but a time for reflection on the dignity of labour, the value of productivity, and the urgent need to improve the welfare of workers across the country.
He noted that Nigerian workers remain the backbone of the nation’s economy, sustaining institutions and contributing significantly to societal stability despite facing numerous challenges, including economic hardship, job insecurity, and inadequate welfare packages.
According to him, “This reality calls for bold and deliberate leadership that prioritizes fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth and advancement for all workers.”
The APC governorship hopeful reaffirmed his commitment to championing policies that will empower workers, create jobs, and establish a system where merit, equity, and productivity are adequately rewarded.
Bida stressed that no nation can achieve sustainable prosperity unless its workforce is valued, protected, and inspired, adding that the sacrifices of Nigerian workers remain critical to the country’s collective progress.
He urged stakeholders at all levels to renew their commitment to building a society where hard work is honoured and every worker is given the opportunity to thrive with dignity.
Chief Bida concluded by expressing solidarity with workers across the nation, assuring them that their efforts are recognized and will not be in vain.
