THE Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige, was today booed at the 2022 International Labour Day celebration in Abuja when workers midway into his speech booed and sang anti- government songs.
The minister, who was represented by the Controller of Labour, in the state, Nnamdi Simon Enuah, continued reading the speech of the minister, despite all the noise and anti-government songs by the workers.
The anti-government songs started from the wing where teachers and universities workers were seated.
The singing of the anti-government songs continued as the minister’s speech was being read.
Surprisingly, a larger number of the workers who were not singing the anti-government songs joined in singing immediately the representative of the minister got to a point where he said he wanted to list all the good works President Muhammedu Buhari has done for the people and the workers including the projects executed that benefitted the workers.
At that point, the noise in the Mobolaji Johnson Arena of the labour day celebration became deafening with virtually all the workers singing anti-government songs including blowing short vuvuxelas.
They did not stop until the minister’s representative completed reading the speech and left the stage.
