However, this agitations seem louder in the developing nations. In 1886, workers agitated for the 8 hour per day work time and for the first time this was achieved. Before this agitation, workers were made to work at the timing and discretion of their employees. But today across the world, at least in the public service and formal work environments, the eight hour per day work limit is respected.

For instance, workers in the civil service and the formal sectors enjoy annual leave, leave grants, promotion and increment in salaries, public holidays, training and retraining to build their capacities among other incenti...

Census is the main tool for planning, so that each sector will get finances and other resources to achieve results. It is common place to hear leaders at different levels and this includes the Presidency, Members of the National Assembly, Governors, State Houses of Assembly Members, Local Government Chairmen, mention all kinds of figures when it came to a discussion on the population of Nigeria. At no one time have two leaders ment...
