May Day: NUPENG tasks Nigerian govt, workers on COVID-19
May 1 is a day specifically set aside to celebrate and commemorate workers’ economic significance and social worth to humanity.
“Notwithstanding, NUPENG is using this opportunity to commend and appreciate all frontline working people who are being exposed to risks of infections and deaths due to complications of COVID-19 as humanity engages the unseen enemy in the strange global war,” the statement added. “It is very imperative for us to use this opportunity to implore the Federal Government and other levels of governments to deepen the spread and expand the quantity of the palliative measures/ materials being put in place to cushion the impacts and effects of the pandemic and its associated lockdown on economic activities and earning powers of individuals and corporate entities.
“We shall be together when the sun rises once again and our machines in various factories roar back to life. “The fear of how the workers are going to fare against the unknown enemy and the current economic hardships are already creating social upheavals to such an extent that any further loss of jobs in our industry would achieve nothing but complications and aggravation of an already bad situation.
