A teachers’ union in Nigeria has told the BBC that its members will only work two days a week, unless the government addresses the rising cost of living. 

The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union – the third largest in Nigeria – is demanding a 200% rise in salaries to meet the costs of transport and other expenses. 

It follows a sharp increase in the price of petrol, after a government fuel subsidy was removed.
