Workers mark May Day in pains as Labour decries insecurity, poverty, inflation

Nigerian workers marked May Day under the burden of rising insecurity, poverty, and inflation. Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, warned that without urgent action, the situation for workers could worsen. Electricity workers, represented by Dominic Igwebike, also expressed concerns about arbitrary sackings and unsafe working conditions. This year's May Day is more a moment of reflection than a celebration.
