Osifo: Nigeria’s Government Must Cut Waste to Improve Workers’ Lives

Osifo revealed that during a recent meeting, the union communicated its readiness to wait until midnight for an improved offer, but left knowing no progress would be made. “The marching orders would have been given before now because we gave a lot of signals to trigger the authorities to act,” he noted.

 Describing the union’s approach to the strike he said, “There could be different reasons why Nigerians want to embark on strike but for us in the labour congress it is a weighty decision before we go on strike.”
