| Nigerian labour unions will embark on a two-day strike on Tuesday against the spiralling cost of living. | |
| Inflation in Africa's largest economy is at almost 30% whilst the local currency, the naira, is rapidly depreciating. | |
| Electricity shortages are compounding the hardship. | |
| The African Development Bank has warned that conditions are ripe for social unrest. | |
| The government says it will reduce public spending and has promised measures to help households and small businesses. | |
| It's not clear how many workers will take part in the strikes as many accuse the unions of corruption. | |
