Nigeria Faces Power Outages and Airport Closures Amid Wage Protests

Nigeria's largest labor unions have initiated a strike demanding higher wages amid record inflation, leading to nationwide electricity cuts and the closure of major airports. The unions seek to raise the minimum monthly wage from 30,000 naira ($20) to nearly 500,000 naira ($336), a move the government argues could destabilize the economy. The strike has caused significant disruptions, including stranded passengers and halted government operations.
