He later added: “The government has to stop this injustice against Nigerian workers. People are loosing jobs every day and is affecting the southern part and especially the youth.
Please, help to broadcast the news so the leaders from the region can stop the government from going ahead wit the step on Janunary 1, 2017. Just imagine what that will it mean if over 500 workers add to the already skyrocketing rate of unemployment in this country.”
