The Kwara chapter of the blacksmiths, welders, iron benders, and metal technicians association of Nigeria, on Tuesday, began a three-day warning strike over high cost of materials.

Oyinloye Azeez-Ajani, chairman of the state chapter of the association, disclosed this on Tuesday in Ilorin, the Kwara capital.

Speaking to NAN, he said at least 7,500 of the association, across the 16 council areas of the state, had agreed to the decision.

Azeez-Ajani, who lamented the challenges faced by in of catering for themselves and their families, said the strike became necessary as a result of the high cost of materials for their work.

According to the chairman, “an iron which was sold for N500 now sells for N1,500; a consignment of iron which sold for N280,000 now goes for N370,000, while a plate of iron which was formerly sold for N8,000 now costs N36,000”.

The chairman appealed to the federal government to look into the situation, by creating a favourable environment for blacksmiths to thrive.

The industrial action is said to have paralysed the activities of the construction industry across the state.

Executive of the association were also said to have moved round the state to ensure compliance.

shocked



Buhari government is the only government that set records and break it.

The next people that will go on strike will be witches and wizard due to poor electricity for them to access their coven.

Under Buhari almost every sector has gone on strike.
The metal workers should please think twice before embarking on the strike cos those who went on strike before them were not listened to so Buhari will also not listen to them.

What Buhari cannot destroy does not exist

Global steel prices have been soaring since October last year.
They should pay attention to world trade and factors that affect their business directly and indirectly.
Not forgetting the impact of our worthless currency though.

The painful aspect of it is that once it goes up, it hardly comes down and when it comes down, it won't even be at the price level it took up from

Those set of people are the backbone of developed countries. They are rail construction workers, the real men that build a nation.

. According to lia mohammed. Buhari istration is bearing fruit.

Will need to ask them what type of fruit.

Garri that was formerly 300 is now 1500.

Children bike that's as 8000 now 19000

The country done cast already. One thing for sure is that a Fulani man will never govern this country again. You can make today and take it to the bank.

They are not educated enough and not fit to govern a 21 century people.
