Labour Leaders To Tinubu: Things Are Getting Worse Every Day, Pains Are Inflicted On Nigerians

By Akeem Oduyoye

Labour leaders in the country have told President Bola Tinubu the agonies Nigerians are going through as things are getting worse and worse every day, just as also pains are being inflicted on Nigerian workers by the present economic challenges occasioned by fuel subsidy removal and inflation.

According to them, cost of transportation has skyrocketed while food prices have soared astronomically.

The labour leaders stated this on Monday at the opening ceremony of the 28th annual national management/industrial relations seminar, held in Ilọrin, the Kwara State capital.

The event was themed “Creative and Innovative Strategies To Manage Workers Expectations and Reality In a Challenging Economy”.

The National President of the Chemical and Non-Metallic Products Senior Staff Association of Nigerian (CANMPSSAN), Comrade Segun David said that “The take-home of every worker cannot take them to the company gate.”

He called on the government to do more at improving the welfare of the Nigerian workers in the face of the challenging situation.

The union leader advised Nigerian workers on the need to strategise on how to manage expectations in the face of dwindling incomes and inflation occasioned by removal of subsidy.
