The theme of the 2018 International Workers' Day is: “Uniting Workers for Social and Economic Advancement”.

We seize this opportunity to call on all Nigerian workers from the top of the hierarchy to the base to resolve in contributing meaningfully to their work better than before, so as to generate greater profit for their organisation, hence, advancing the socio-economic aspects of the nation.

We especially call on public servants to add diligence, innovation, creativity, selflessness, accountability, transparency and integrity to their work as they collaborate with trade unions to enhance social and economic development.

Particularly, we shout out to all teachers who are the builders of foundations and nations, who are the younger generation.

SHADE-IN believes that each individual, especially, the child and adolescent, is a potential nation. This is why the role of a teacher can never be over emphasised. Dearest teacher, please do all you can to provide care, knowledge, positive relationship, guidance, counselling and protection from abuse for those children under your care. And you'll be surprised how much blessed you'll be. Your blessing will go beyond what your salary can afford.

Dearest young worker, entrepreneur, hustler, always remember, life is in stages, people are in sizes. Please take it step by step; be diligent, loyal to your superiors (boss), humble in your attainments, join the right networks, learn, innovate and be determined to always add value to work, to the nation beginning from where you are. Reject temptations to break the rules of the Book of books. Trust in God and your good name and impact will be felt and heard one day across boarders as Nigeria becomes a better place to be socially, economically, etc. , because of you. Don't be the problem. Be the solution.

SHADE-IN believes in you, that industrious and educated youth. So long as you keep learning and applying, you are that youth. Yes, we can.

Happy workers day to all Nigerian workers, Africa and the world at large.

Educators' Role Towards Learning For Lasting Peace - Advocate for Reviewed Education Budget Allocation.

This year's international day of education focuses on Learning for Lasting Peace with hashtag #LeadingSDG4, by emphasising the crucial role education and teachers play in countering hate speech. According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), "Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility." If it is a public responsibility, then it's definitely the Government's responsibility as well. UNESCO also cited that "without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind. Furthermore, UNESCO stated that, "Today, 250 million children and youth are out of school, and 763 million adults are illiterate. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable. It's time to transform education." For ove...
