We are therefore calling on workers to brace up and prepare for a big showdown if the issue is further delayed unnecessarily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot continue to watch while people are dying of hunger and malnutrition due to an artificial inflation imposed on citizens and negligence on the part of authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, had on assumption of office in May 2023, promised to sustain and improve on the issue of citizens\u2019 welfare and security which is the cardinal objectives of any administration, but for the past one year, there is no noticeable change in the life of workers and citizens. It is rather an additional impoverishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of pervasive poverty and joblessness of our youths and graduates has continued unabated. Frequent kidnapping, banditry and terrorism particularly in the North-West are still ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
