Emphasis on “might”. [View in browser](=.2DahwonyVpPk3-6l_FLl7I4hXUHvaAS_CdnlNzfP5F4) [Zikoko Daily] 27 March, 2024 Hey .

Well, the Nigerian trade unions have been fighting to increase the ₦30k minimum wage to beat the high cost of living. The problem is, they’re asking for figures between ₦400k - ₦850k.

According to him, “I hoped it would be my wife’s fault.” Here’s a snippet: “Following a friend’s advice, I got tested too. I didn’t think it was a big deal.
