The Nordic model encompasses a strong welfare state, protection of workers through collective bargaining, good pension schemes and low levels of poverty. This system has gone hand-in-hand with a progressive approach to issues like gender equality and maternity or paternity leave. But the social model has come under pressure from the trends affecting Europe as a whole, such as Covid debt, inflation and the cost-of-living crisis, the demands of the green transition and – some would say – pressure from migration.

He is talking like a colonialists,
because he is afraid of change. And during the last administration, Nigerians came together to discuss restructuring, but he is not telling Nigerians what happened to that documents.
And he is now advocating another gathering of Nigerians to discuss same issue. So, he is not straight forward to the Nigerian people.
Let the Sultan start the good preaching from his own backyard. The Arewa youths are threatening Igbos to quit northern section of the country, and those are the master-minding (thoughts) of the Arewa Elders, and what statements have been made by the Sultan? None!!! Please let people stop deceiving themselves!!!
We will review and take appropriate action.
