According to him, My commitment is to move Nigeria from consumption to product and you ca n’t talk about product without labour.

Labour is the machine of product, Capital and machine can do anything but labour is what makes it work. Because labour is the topmost contributor to product, it has to be duly remunerated.

I do n’t need to tell you how bad effects are in this country today. However, moment Nigerians spend 100 percent of their stipend on just feeding, if you’re on stipend.

So numerous do n’t indeed know where their coming mess will come from. They pay to train their children only for them finish academy and stay at home without work.

These are issues we need to bandy about. nothing can be chairman without sitting down with the labour organisation to decide the future of Nigeria.

We can nolonger have a situation where the leaders are then and workers are there. They must sit on the same table and talk. That’s the morning of the result, that’s what’s passing each over the world.

Nigeria isn’t a producing country. The collaborative effect of what we’re suffering moment is bad leadership. We’ve a leadership that concentrates on sharing.

So you have to move from participating formula to product formula. This is a country of 200 million people sitting on923,000 square kilometers of land. They ca n’t feed themselves, they ca n’t export anything.
