The former aide to the ex-Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, has described the ongoing national strike embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the and Trade Union Congress, TUC, as a distraction, saying the nation has urgent problems to deal with.
Akande stated this in an interview on Tuesday.
According to him, the current hardship being faced by Nigerians and the fiscal crisis of the Federal Government are bigger than the NLC strike.
He appealed to the President to put an end to myriad national problems compounded by the national strike which commenced Tuesday.
