Falz Speaks Out: NLC Strike Cost Me Money
Rapper Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, has disclosed how his inability to return to Lagos as a result of the Organised Labour strike cost him the money he had invested in planning a video shoot.
Despite endorsing the labor movement, he said that the strike left him stuck in Uyo since the closure of airports prevented him from returning to Lagos.
Remember that on Monday, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) went on an indefinite strike to pressure the government to reconsider raising energy costs for certain customers and to reach an agreement on a new minimum wage for workers.
The rapper, however, stated that he supports the demands of the labor organizations and that he understands the reasons behind the strike.
