Commercial s3x workers in Edo State have announced their plan to embark on strike action on February 28th, 2024 in an effort to show their displeasure over continuous increase in prices of goods and services in the country.
The Publicity Director, Association of Prost?tute in Nigeria (APN), Edo State branch, Jennifer Osas, noted that though the ongoing crisis within the association would not deter them from embarking on strike next week, but that they have resolved to express their grievances to the untold hardship under President Bola Tinubu.
She stressed that the high cost of living across the country has serious affected their patronage and that many of their members can no longer afford to take care of their families.
Furthermore, she affirmed that it became necessary to let the whole nation and world know what they have been passing through since the assumption of Tinubu’s administration.
While narrating how the strike action will be carried out, she said that unless something urgent is done to arrest the situation, they would move across major streets in Benin-City and eventually landed at the government house where they would address the state Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Meanwhile, effort to get copy of the letter to the Nigeria Police, and Department of States Security (DSS) proved abortive, as she claimed that they are yet to get respond from the security agencies for permission.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, has arraigned former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, at the Federal High Court in Kaduna over an alleged N8.68 billion fraud linked to a CCTV surveillance contract.
Arraigned alongside the ex-governor were his former Senior Special Adviser and Counsellor, Jimi Adebisi Lawal, and five companies over allegations bordering on corruption, money laundering, and financial misconduct.
The case, filed under charge number FHC/KD/93C/2026, was brought before Justice Hauwa’u Buhari of the Federal High Court, Kaduna.
Other defendants listed in the amended 11-count charge include Singularity Network Security Limited, Solar Life Nigeria Limited, Knowledge Investment Nigeria Limited, Intercellular Nigeria Limited, and Noble Coast Resources Limited.
The anti-graft agency equally mentioned Bashir El-Rufai, identified as an elder brother of the former governor, in one of the counts. He is currently said to be at large.
The ICPC stated that the charges stem from the award of a contract for the procurement, survey planning, final design, and installation of a Closed-Circuit Television, CCTV, surveillance system across the Kaduna metropolis.
The anti-graft agency alleged that El-Rufai, while serving as governor, approved the contract worth over eight billion naira, N8,682,574,054.94, in favour of Singularity Network Security Limited, despite the company allegedly lacking the required technical capacity and experience to execute such a project.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has evacuated the second batch of its citizens, numbering 66 people from South Africa over xenophobic attacks.
The evacuees landed at the Lagos international airport on Wednesday night as part of the Federal Government’s ongoing evacuation exercise approved by President Bola Tinubu, following the latest xenophobic violence in South Africa.
Recall that on June 11, the first batch of 258 evacuees arrived in the country aboard a chartered Air Peace flight.
Head of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, in Lagos, Dipo Onabowale, said the latest evacuation was facilitated by Kunle Soname, chairman and chief executive officer of ValueJet, with officials of the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa accompanying the returnees.
Onabowale, who spoke on behalf of Abike Dabiri-Erewa, NiDCOM chairman, commended Tinubu for approving the evacuation.
“There are 66 people in the second batch. Logistical challenges encountered during the first evacuation exercise are being addressed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“The Foreign Affairs Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has assured that all registered Nigerians in South Africa would be evacuated,” Onabowale said.
