ANOTHER STRIKE WAR AS NLC AND TUC BEGIN MASS NATIONWIDE PROTEST

As I’ve said before that the word and action “STRIKE” is synonymous with our country Nigeria.
As I’m writing this , the ASUU strike is still on and things haven’t been resolved.
The NLC nigerian labour congress and TUC trade union congress has given directive to their affiliates all over the country to begin mobilisation for a nationwide protest against the senate decision to remove the national minimum wage from the constitution.

This one is going to be war o. Hmmm.
But seriously asking , why would the senate remove the minimum wage from the constitution ??? What reasons do they have now ?

The minimum wage is not a living wage at all but just a mere form of guarantee for existence and survival in our hustling nation.

Please o. Help the mass. Help Nigerians.
