Why do workers in Nigeria feel so strongly about raising the minimum wage?
Last week Nigeria\u2019s labour unions suspended a general strike, that caused widespread disruption across the country, for one week.\n \nUnions were demanding an increase in the national monthly minimum wage to help workers cope with the rising cost of living. The strike ended after the government agreed to a new national minimum wage. The government also said it will meet with the unions' representatives every day for a week for talks. \n \nIn today\u2019s Africa Daily Noni Muchiri speaks to the BBC\u2019s Nkechi Ogbonna in Lagos about the union\u2019s demands, the government\u2019s response and the financial hardship facing many workers in Nigeria.
