Daily Trust reported that, however, Ndume remains undeterred, vowing to continue telling the truth to power.
During an interactive session with journalists, Ndume commented on the new N70,000 minimum wage agreed upon by Tinubu and the NLC.
He stated that while the increase is a good move, it is insufficient to address Nigerians’ suffering.
