Sat Guru Maharajji Calls for Dialogue Over Planned Strike

Sat Guru Maharajji, the founder of the One Love Family, advised Nigerian workers to reconsider their planned strike and instead engage in dialogue with the federal government to address their demands for improved welfare. In a statement released in Ibadan, he praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a listening leader who is open to discussions regarding issues affecting various sectors of the country.

Maharajji acknowledged the legitimacy of workers' demands but cautioned that industrial action could exacerbate Nigeria's already fragile economy. He urged the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other labor organizations to pursue all legitimate negotiation avenues to avoid further economic disruption.

Maharajji emphasized that both the federal government and the current NLC leadership inherited a struggling economy that requires collaborative efforts to rebuild. He attributed Nigeria's economic challenges partly to the legacy of European imperialism and stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of economic issues rather than relying on recurring strikes.
