KADUNA WORKERS ARE NOT SLAVES! – THEY HAVE RIGHTS!!

By Comrade Ayuba Wabba, mni

It has been tales of sorrows, tears and blood from Kaduna State especially as occasioned by increasing waves of kidnapping, banditry, general insecurity, mass sack of workers and killing of students peacefully protesting the hike in school fees at Gidan Waya, Kaduna State.
