The Albinism Association of Nigeria (AAN) has called for continued engagement, recognition, and fair treatment for all workers.
The group also called on the Nigerian government across all tiers to recognise persons with albinism (PWAs) as people who can contribute to the socioeconomic fabric of the nation.
The Association, in a press statement issued in commemoration of the 2023 May Day celebration and signed by its National President, Mrs Bisi Bamishe, said workers are the lifeblood of every economy and deserve to be celebrated not just on a special day but every day.
The group said, “as we commemorate this special Workers’ Day, we use this medium to appreciate our daily heroes who give their all to the progress of the workplace and our darling nation, Nigeria.
“We recognise their roles in society, and it is imperative that we empower workers to be able to access many opportunities needed for self-fulfilment and dignity of human life.”
The group thereafter request “equity, fairness, and inclusiveness for our community.”
