Nigeria's President Implements Wage Increase to Prevent National Strike

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has announced a six-month increase to the minimum wage as workers are set to start an indefinite strike. Unions want the monthly wage to be raised to $255 to help deal with the sharp rise in the cost of living since Tinubu took office. However, the president's $32 increase only brings a monthly minimum salary to $70. Tinubu also pledged to speed up the rollout of cheap gas-powered buses to help with the recent tripling of fuel prices, which was prompted by the removal of a fuel subsidy. The main labour unions have insisted on proceeding with the planned strike, stating that the government has failed to address the suffering caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy.
