Nigeria's unions launch indefinite general strike in bid to raise minimum wage
Nigeria's unions have launched an indefinite general strike in a bid to raise the minimum wage. The government's current offer is 60,000 naira a month, or approximately €37. The country is grappling with the fallout from the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. Strikers kicked off the standoff in Lagos and Abuja by shutting down power, disrupting flights and shutting schools.
