Broken Promises: How Nigerian Workers Bear the Cost of Empty Politics

Politicians across Nigeria promise to fix the nation. They speak on TV, radio, and social media. Yet ordinary workers keep asking: How? Today’s system fails civil servants. Transport, food, rent, and school fees keep rising. Salaries remain stagnant or unpaid. Reports show Federal Radio Corporation staff lose about ₦54,000 every month. For 5,000 workers, that adds up to ₦270 million monthly and over ₦3.2 billion a year. While politicians travel abroad and increase security votes, workers skip meals and retire into poverty. It’s time for labour unions, civil society, and citizens to demand full wage implementation and dignity for all workers.
