Labour Declares Strike Over Mass Sack Of Workers In Kaduna

The Nigeria Labour Congress, on Thursday, declared a five-day strike in Kaduna State to protest the mass sack of workers in the state by Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

The decision was reached by the Central Working Committee of the NLC at a meeting in Abuja held at the Labour House.

The President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba while speaking with newsmen, said the five-day withdrawal of service by workers in the state will become total if there is no remorse from the state government.

The state Governor has been condemned over his decision to disengage 4000 workers across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State.

Reacting to the development, Ayuba Wabba, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), described the action as “arbitrary and cruel”, and called on the Kaduna State Government to reverse the mass sack.
