May Day: Mahama salutes workers

Former President John Dramani Mahama has paid homage to workers in the country as Ghana joins the rest of the world today, May 1, to celebrate International Workers’ Day.

The day is marked across the world to celebrate labour and the working class.

“It's Workers’ Day. I join my fellow countrymen and women to salute you all, gallant Ghanaian workers,” Mr Mahama said in a tweet.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to be the special guest of honour at this year’s National May Day Parade to be held at the Independence Square.

This year’s May Day celebration is on the theme: “Ghana @60: Mobilising for Ghana’s future through the creation of decent jobs”.
