As part of activities to commemorate this year’s Workers’ Day, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed its Rivers State Council to organise a peaceful rally on May 1, 2025.

 In a letter dated April 22, 2025, signed by the Deputy General Secretary, ISMAIL BELLO,the NLC leadership revealed that the rally will be held within the premises of the council, involving all affiliate unions, and will focus on advocating for the restoration of democratic governance in the state.

 It emphasized that, given the “peculiar circumstance of the subversion of democratic governance” in Rivers State, the celebration should not involve fanfare but rather a sober reflection.

 The Congress reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles and urged all members to use the May Day occasion to renew calls for placing the people at the center of leadership in Rivers State.
