Prof. Yusufu Zoaka paper presentation at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) “Workers Political Conference”, March 2022
The following paper was recently presented, in early March 2022, at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) “Workers Political Conference” by Professor Yusufu Ali Zoaka, the Lead Paper Presenter.
