Unlocking Nigeria And The Labour Movement By Ayo Ademiluyi | Sahara Reporters

Three things are happening in quick succession. The Organised Private Sector including but not limited to Nigerian Employers' Consultative Association and the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industries, the fledging big business Assembly in Lagos, the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria ,jointly and severally opposed the proposal for fresh total lockdown in Lagos State in particular and Nigeria in general.

A picturesque of the total lockdown in Nigeria, based on the update on the Nigerian Centre for Diseases' Control as at 2:18 pm , have seen confirmed cases rise to 5, 959 cases with 4, 183 active cases . Only 35, 345 cases have been tested thus far with about 1, 594 cases discharged and 182 confirmed deaths as a result of COVID-19 thus far.

1. The huge youth demography index of Nigeria , second to India , without a medical history of respiratory diseases reduces the level of casaulty rate.3. Malaria, typhoid fever , Lassa fever and other viral infections are degrees of COVIDs and in the absence of widespread orthodox health facilities , resort to alternative medicine with quick recovery rate. Under exposure to COVID-19 with advanced medical Technology , recovery rate is higher .

What the ruling class has embarked on is a class and physcological warfare against the working people. Under the blows of the global economic crisis and crash of prices at the world oil market , the ruling class has taken out a fresh $3.4 billion to Nigeria. A gloomy class onslaught is looming. It is clear to the entire ruling class that any further extension of the total lockdown nationwide will lead to outbreak of anti-lockdown protests like Guinea , Senegal and South Africa. The ruling class consciously avoided a class confrontation by easing the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun States as well as Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, after seeing weeks of unrests.

This argument is completely unscientific as such a general Strike , if called by the labour movement will not only be unpopular among the broad layers of the working People, it will fail to tally with the mood of the rank and file workers , who are eager to embark on daily hustle after being kept down on hunger after a prolonged work-stoppage for months.
