Business Matters: Nigeria awaits outcome of tight election contest 31 March 15

Tue, 31 Mar¹ 15

Nigerians wait anxiously for the result of what's expected to be the closest election in its history. There have been allegations of vote rigging; the British High Commissioner² to Nigeria, Andrew Pocock says there is cause for concern. The Turkish Prime Minister has announced a proposal to give working mothers the right to opt³ for part-time work for several months after birth but still be paid as if they were working full time but will this strengthen women's position in the workforce⁴. Plus, we hear from professional photographer Charles Fox. He tells us about his extensive collection of photographs depicting⁵ Cambodian society before and after the notorious Khmer Rouge⁶ rule. Plus from Singapore we're joined by Sumana Rajarethnam, a senior analyst⁷ at The Economist⁸ Singapore and in New York, José Martín a radical⁹ organiser and researcher of social unrest.
