In Nigeria, workers show up but unions are being silenced.
From the “no work, no pay” rule to blocked union dues, labour rights are under siege.
This isn’t just a Nigerian issue; it’s an African labour crisis.

Uganda’s “silent strike” reveals a deeper labour crisis.
Workers show up, but disengage; a quiet protest against low wages and insecurity.
With 61% in vulnerable jobs, the problem isn’t unemployment, it’s undignified work.
Rebuilding decent work must start by restoring meaning to labour itself.

Violence against Africa’s health workers is becoming routine, and that should alarm us all.
In Nigeria, up to 88% of staff have faced violence on the job.

“Contract staffing isn’t flexibility; it’s fragility.”
