“We are saying enough to corruption. We are saying enough to the commercialisation of education. Nigerian workers are saying enough to abuse of power. We are saying enough to poor workers’ wages that cannot take workers home. Workers are demanding immediate stoppage of all of those policies that are culpable of incapacitating our people, that are culpable of incapacitating Nigerian workers.

“We are saying enough is enough to all policies that are bringing suffering to our people. We are saying enough to all policies that are culpable of dividing Nigeria into different factions. We are saying enough is enough.
