Nigeria's independent online newspaper
The Nigeria Labour Congress has accused Simon Lalong, minister of labour and employment, of undermining the implementation of the labour–federal government agreement of October 2, 2023.
The NLC also said the minister had failed to reinstate the democratically elected NURTW leadership, led by Tajudeen Baruwa, despite initial assurances.“It is now abundantly clear that the federal government never negotiated in good faith and, consequently, was never genuinely committed to honouring the terms of the October 2, 2023 agreement,” the statement signed by Emmanuel Ugboaja, NLC general secretary, reads.
The union said it will be highly constrained to attend any meeting Lalong organises for the implementation of their agreement. “We implore the president to rein in minister Lalong, and if this does not occur, we will conclude that the minister’s actions align with the president’s directives.“Our allegiance is to upholding the rule of law and democratic principles, even if the minister chooses to disregard them.”
