The Nigeria Labour Congress, Kogi State chapter, has advised the
state government against the planned retrenchment
of over 6,000 workers from the state civil service.
The advice was contained in a communique signed by the state Chairman of the NLC, Mr James Odaudu, and Secretary of the Trade Union Congress, Mr J.O. Kolawole, at the end of a meeting of the organised labour in Lokoja on Sunday.
The communique said the State Executive Council of labour in the state had resolved that rather th an embarking on mass retrenchment, government should allow the Implementation Committee of 2014 Ogunmola Screening report to do its job. The congress said the implementation committee’s job had been taken over by the state Ministry of Finance, Budget and Planning Ministry and the Accountant General’s Office.
The congress said the implementation committee’s job had been taken over by the state Ministry of Finance, Budget and Planning Ministry and the Accountant General’s Office. The communique said any attempt by the government to retrench the over 6,000 worker, and removal of their names from pay vouchers as from December, would be opposed.
It, therefore, called on the workers to reject the December salaries if names of their colleagues were omitted, adding that any attempt by the government to carry out the exercise would not be condoned.
