The advice was given by NLC's General Secretary, Dr Peter Oso-Ezon, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday.
"This is the first major national celebration of Mr President, since his inauguration; this will be a great opportunity for Mr President to set the tone of his administration's broad policy framework.
"So, I would expect that his address would be telling us in some majored way, what concrete steps (they will take), what type of goals they are setting for themselves and what the broad policy thrust on the economy are, what they will do about the security situation, and all that." he said.
He commended Nigerian workers for their resilience in difficult times and urged them to remain committed to making the country greater.
"We salute our workers and our members" he said "even in the most difficult times in which a number of them were owed months and months of salary arrears, they continued to labour.
"So, we salute their resilience and we will continue to look forward to a better tomorrow.
"For Nigerians, generally we will also congratulate ourselves. Even with the challenges the nation has had, we are still where we are" he said.
