NLC congratulates Ngige on his reappointment as labour minister, end rift
This is contained in a letter signed by the President of the NLC, Mr Ayuba Wabba, in Abuja.
Wabba said that Ngige’s reappointment was a testament of the confidence President Muhammadu Buhari reposed on him. He called on Ngige to steer the affairs of the ministry towards the upliftment of Nigerians from poverty, indignity and indecent work conditions. “On behalf of my family and the NLC, I wish to congratulate you on your recent appointment by Mr President as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.Wabba said it was the NLC’s expectation that the minister would use the opportunity of his reappointment to promote and advance tripartism.The NLC president also called on the minister to enbrace social dialogue, decent work conditions and harmonious industrial relations in Nigeria .
Towards the end of Ngige’s tenure as labour minister, there were clashes between him and labour leaders over his delay in inaugurating the board of the National Social Insurance Trust Fund more than three years after the expiration of the tenure of the last board.The union held a protest against him in his house which led to a fracas that landed some NLC members at the National Hospital in Abuja after they were allegedly attacked by thugs.
