The Nigerian Labour Congress has ordered Nigerian workers to stay at home as theres no resumption of work nationwide. The predicted strike commences today June 3

The Organised Labour nationwide strike followed the deadlock meeting it had with the Federal Government and the National Assembly leaders over a new national minimum wage and reversal of the recent hike in electricity tariffs.


The labour unions argue that the current minimum wage of ₦30,000 can no longer cater to the wellbeing of an average Nigerian worker, and they want it increased or no work.

I wonder in a country where a litre of petrol is around #850 naira and you have the audacity to pay workers minimum wage of #30,000 naira. That's simply means that someone's salary can not buy full tank of petrol. Nigeria is a funny country. I have stopped crying for Nigeria.
