The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has urged the Kogi State government to unseal the Obajana Cement Plant or be ready to contend its members.
“It is sad to note that the government instead of creating jobs, are closing factories to breed an army of unemployed readily available to be used by politicians in the build up to the 2023 general election.
“The workers of the factory are not responsible for the irregularities in documentations, therefore they should not be punished, hence our affiliate CANMPSSA has been directed to follow up with these workers and report back to congress, and equally presents ourselves to facilitate the interface between the Kogi State Government and Dangote Cement with the view to put an end to this crisis,” it said .
“It is only reasonable that efforts be geared towards ensuring that all sectors of the economy are running optimally to boost the economy and create jobs, rather than closing shops. “Governments at all levels must realise that actions such as this are dysfunctional to the growth and development of Nigeria, and capable of discouraging potential investors, especially foreigners from investing in the country.
