Workers across Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, have converged on Eagle Square to commemorate this year’s International Workers’ Day, marking a day of solidarity, reflection, and advocacy.
The atmosphere at the venue is a blend of festivity and frustration, as workers celebrate their contributions to national development while also drawing attention to the economic realities they face.
