“The path they wanted to toe to the detriment of the ordinary Nigerians would have set the country on fire. There would have been an instantaneous reaction.”
“TUC, like the rest of the Nigerian populace, is bewildered that the country is being dragged through the twin crises of currency and fuel shortages.”
The organised labour in Plateau said there was no going back on the warning strike.
All Plateau workers, including those from the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have been mobilised to fully comply with the industrial action.
“No concerned and responsive government will bury its head in the sands like the proverbial Ostrich while the citizens are being brutally exploited.
“Labour was, however, not happy with the slow pace at which the issue of the N30,000 wage was being handled by the government,” NLC and TUC said.
“Governors are our major problems in the country and cannot proffer solutions to what they are the root cause or what they have not been able to tackle in their states.”
TUC criticised the Ekiti government’s refusal to remit deducted dues such as a contributory pension, cooperative deductions, and bank loan repayment.
The workers said the strike was happening because the governor, Dapo Abiodun, had failed to meet with them to resolve the issue.
“The strike is justifiable but ASUU should also know that negotiations are always a win-win situation and not winner takes all.”
