…Directs affiliate unions to mobilise
The Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), has said it will begin what it called ‘Round 2’ of its suspended industrial action against Governor Nasir Ahmed el-Rufa’i, of Kaduna State.
The NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, stated this yesterday, at a press conference after an emergency National Executive Council meeting of the congress in Abuja.
It has therefore directed its State councils and affiliate unions to mobilise for the latest action.
He said the Congress, after exhausting all avenues, including writing letters to President Buhari and Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, the union has decided to resume the strike.
He accused Governor el-Rufa’i, of failing to respect the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the State government by the Federal Government last month.
Recall that the NLC declared a one-week warning strike in Kaduna on May 17 to protest the state government’s proposed sack of thousands of civil servants andsuspended the strike on May 19 after the Federal Government brokered a peace meeting between both parties.
