Former President John Dramani Mahama sent his best wishes to Ghanaians on this Labor Day, which is being observed today, May 1.
Ghanaians observe this day with the following theme: Protecting Incomes and Pensions in an era of economic crises: our responsibility’.
In a post, Mr. Mahama praised all employees for keeping the ship afloat during difficult economic times.
He also criticized the government for failing to close the unemployment gap and making matters worse for Ghanaians under 30.
Mr. Mahama thanked the laborers for their efforts and urged everyone to hold out hope for a better future that will safeguard each citizen’s wellbeing and give them the opportunities they need to prosper.
“Happy May Day to all!
Today, I celebrate all workers’ industry, innovation, and agency and commend you sincerely for holding the ship of state afloat.
Today, as we celebrate May Day and painfully sail through these stormy times with courage, I will continue to urge you, our gallant workers across the country, to hope for a better future, a future that will protect the investments of retirees, restore and revamp collapsed businesses and banks, create genuine jobs and ensure that our statutory vehicles that offer protection to the vulnerable in society are not cruelly starved of funds.
You are the backbone of our country, and you epitomize the Black Star of hope and honor, so proudly extolled in our national anthem. It is your steadfastness and dedicated service to our dear nation that has kept us afloat amid our present economic turbulence.
I salute you, Ghanaian Workers, for inspiring us to be resolute and work toward Building the Ghana we want Together.
Happy May Day!
