Leftist Intelligentsia, Labor Union Education, and Decolonization
In April 1960, the prime minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, stated at the annual conference of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUCN): It is true that as representatives of workers it is your duty to strive to improve the working conditions and living standards of your members. But your duty does not end there. Those of you who have been entrusted with leadership of the trade union movement have another equally important obligat…
Champions of the Working Class: Samuel Ikoku and Other Noble Men
In this chapter, I analyze the role of some of the most dedicated members of the Nigerian leftist intelligentsia during the decolonization period. While the emphasis is on Samuel Ikoku, the role of other prolific leftists such as Nduka Eze, Gogo Chu Nzeribe, and others is put into perspective. Being the son of the renowned leader of the Nigerian Teachers Union Alvan Ikoku, Samuel Grace (Goomu) Ikoku was privileged to know about Western education …

Before the Wind of Change: The Orientation of Labor Unions in Africa
There is no history of sustained Communist influence in British African colonies, although individual union leaders with Communist sympathies appeared from time to time, particularly in West Africa during the colonial period. In Britain’s East and Central African colonies, any political sympathies were directed by unions toward their respective nationalist groups, particularly in Kenya, where the general secretary of the Federation of Labor (KFOL…
The Colonial State and Organized Labor

It emphasized colonial state’s attempts to deprive leftists within the Nigerian labor movement any opportunity to foment antigovernment propaganda or action. The development of “sound industrial relations” was important to successful antileftist measures in all ramifications.1 The chapter presents a historical narr…
