Negotiations between labor and the Nigerian government have stalled raising the prospects of another countrywide strike. The last strike crippled critical sectors of the economy. A government committee offered a monthly wage of 60,000 naira ($41.38), which unions rejected. Frank Tietie, Executive Director, Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights told VOA’s Chinedu Offor, the country’s economy could collapse if both sides are unable to reach a compromise.
