THE HORIZON BY KAYODE KOMOLAFE,   kayode.komolafe@thisdaylive.com On May 11, it will be 40years that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) called  a strike  to mount pressure on government for the enactment of a national minimum wage law. Comrade Hassan Adebayo Sunmonu, who incidentally turned 80 two months ago, was the NLC president who led the nation-wide popular  action. Under the leadership of one of the most adroit negotiators produced by the labour movement,  the NLC enjoyed the support of students, progressive intellectuals  and even players in the informal sector in the process. In retrospect, the success of the historic strike could be measured by the fact that in September of  that year the National Assembly passed the National  Minimum Wage Act of 1981 which was signed by President Shehu Shagari.
