Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and former Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Marlin Sylva, on Friday, described workers as the heartbeat of the nation.
The minister disclosed this in commemoration of this year’s May day celebration.
In a statement signed in Abuja by his media aide, Julius Bokoru, Sylva said ‘workers are the heartbeat of a nation, the pulse, the fulcrum that keeps everything in place, that keeps everything going.

” Though sometimes the motivations may not be in the fullest, Nigerian workers are spurred on by an innate sense of service and patriotism.
“The unyielding, raw sacrifices workers make are also acts of humanity. From the manual day labourer who would brave the scorching sun to the civil servant who would linger deep into the night, punching computer keys at the office; can be found, a recurring theme of personal sacrifice.
The statement noted that Sylva is particularly appreciative of the Nigerian health workers who are at the trenches of the war against COVID-19, adding that they are risking their lives to keep us safe and who, by the dictates of the time, are certainly doing extra hours in making sure Nigeria is safer and healthier.
Sylva commends all Nigerian workers and prays for God’s continued blessings to our people and nation.
