What’s the root cause of Nigeria’s economic crisis?
A general strike demanding higher wages brings Nigeria to a standstill.
Nigeria has Africa’s largest population and it’s one of the world’s top oil producers.
Yet the nation of more than 200 million people has struggled with corruption, economic mismanagement and a weak currency.
A general strike this week is drawing attention to these challenges.
Union leaders want a higher minimum wage and blame recent reforms by President Bola Tinubu for worsening the situation.
But can a general strike that’s shut down the national electric grid and several airports force the government to change course on this issue?
