After meeting with the government on October 15, Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lô asked social partners for a three-month moratorium on strikes and announced that social-dialogue committees would be established in every ministry starting in December. The Front syndical pour la défense des travailleurs (FSDT) remained unconvinced and confirmed a national march on October 20, followed by a 72-hour general strike.

The CNES says the results of the National Social Stability Pact are insufficient, while the FSDT insists on written commitments and concrete action.

Ondo monarch collapses, dies after 24 hours

Oba Moses Ekundayo Bakare, the Onidogun of Idogun in Ondo State, died on Thursday evening after collapsing on Wednesday and spending 24 hours in a coma at a hospital. His death comes nearly a year after residents allegedly assaulted him, prompting him to leave the community; the state inquiry panel’s report has still not been made public. Information Commissioner Idowu Ajanaku confirmed the death and urged residents to remain peaceful. Local reports said opponents of the late monarch blocked the road into Idogun with logs on Thursday, forcing those transporting his body to return it to a mortuary in Owo.
