Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment has directed striking
workers of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to resume Wednesday to
pave the way for proper resolution of the dispute.
Ngige stated this in a statement signed by Mr Samuel Olowokoore,
Deputy Director, Press in the Ministry of Labour and Employment on
Tuesday in Abuja.
The workers of the commission had embarked on an indefinite strike on
Tuesday, July 18, 2017 to protest the non- payment of allowances as
well as poor working conditions.
Ngige said his intervention “is in order to ensure that the
principles of social dialogue as a panacea to trade disputes is not only
fully exhausted but exploited for the benefits of all parties –
employers and employees”.
The Minister also summoned a meeting of stakeholders which include
the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress(NLC) to a meeting on July
26 to resolve all contending issues.
He implored all the stakeholders and parties to the dispute to attend
the meeting so as to ventilate all the issues and reach a lasting
solution via a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
