The Nigeria Labour Congress says workers across the country are living through the harshest survival crisis in the nation’s history. Speaking amid rising prices and shrinking incomes, labour leaders said inflation has wiped out wages, leaving many workers unable to afford food, transport or basic healthcare. According to the NLC, conditions are now worse than during past economic downturns, with households pushed to the edge by daily costs. The union blamed weak wage protection, rising fuel prices and failing social support systems. It urged the Federal Government to act swiftly, warning that continued hardship could fuel unrest if workers are pushed any further. Across cities and rural communities alike, the agitation suggests that survival, not comfort, has become the goal.
