Nigeria: 'Foolish' Nigerian senate strike

The Nigerian senate has gone on strike for two days - demanding President Olusegun Obasanjo sacks a minister who called them foolish. Outspoken minister for Abuja, Nasir El-Rufai, is one of President Obasanjo's most controversial appointees. He has been criticised for ordering the demolition of illegal structures in Abuja, as well as dismissing hundreds of workers in his ministry.
