Alhaji Yaqub urged both the labour and government to shift their grounds and negotiate based on the current economic reality as well as the sustainability of the wage so as not to record any job loss or non payment of salaries.
He called on Nigerian leaders to deal in the fear of Allah by delivering on their campaign promises in order engender the development of the grassroots
