“Our goal was simple, to deliver a moment of ease and say, ‘We see you, we value you, and we’re proud to ride with you.’ With every smile and every “thank you” we received, our hearts swelled with pride.
To all Nigerian workers: We celebrate your grind. We will ride with you. We stand with you today and always,” Afolayan added.
From bustling bus parks to social media timelines and radio airwaves, the Gala Workers’ Day campaign came alive through a vibrant mix of radio shoutouts, digital content, and on-ground activations.
But beyond the energy, the campaign was deeply personal. It was about hon – oring the strength and resilience of the 9ja Hustler.
Afolayan stressed that “for every Nigerian worker who shows up daily, no matter the odds, whether you’re a student pursuing a degree, an Okada rider navigating Lagos traffic, a market trader, a teacher, a tech professional, or a tailor, this was for you.”
