Nigeria Marks Workers’ Day On Low-Key Amid COVID-19 Restrictions

Today is International Workers Day or Labour Day, observed each year on May 1 to celebrate the achievements and sacrifices of the workers.

This year’s workers day, however, comes amid the ravaging coronavirus pandemic which has spread to almost all the countries of the world, leaving almost two million people infected and more than one hundred thousand dead. This has resulted in a health crisis that has thrown up issues concerning the welfare of workers, especially those currently in the frontline of the battle to curb the spread of coronavirus and provide care for those already infected by the virus.

The day is usually marked with public rallies and demonstrations in various states across Nigeria to draw the attention of the government and employees of labour to the plight of workers, as promoted by the International Labour Movement.
