After Bolton was plunged into Tier 4 restrictions on Wednesday, firms had just nine hours to prepare before the new rules came into effect. As this is the third time many of these businesses have had to close, most were prepared to change the way they worked very smoothly, and have been able to transition into the new rules seamlessly. Sammy Kenny, who has run the Village Boutique at the Last Drop Village for the past nine years, feels lucky that she s able to trade online.

LABOUR unions in Ekiti State, yesterday, threatened to shut down activities of the state government if Governor Kayode Fayemi fails to implement the N30,000 minimum wages and the consequential adjustment to workers across board.
The unions, who threatened to protest next week, said that the only way the labour crisis could be averted is the payment of all the promotion and salary arrears to all categories of workers as negotiated.
Shortly after the minimum wage was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2018, Governor Fayemi implemented the payment to workers on grade levels 01 and 06, promising to effect it across board when the finances of the state improved.
