The Nigeria Labour Congress has accused the Minister of Labour and Employment Senator Chris Ngige of intimidating and harassing Organised labour with a view to running them under ground in the country.
Wabba said the Congress was the initial target of the directive, but when they failed to get anything to hold down the leadership of the NLC, the Ministry turned its search light on NUPENG who were party to the fight to validate the appointment of Frank Kokori as chairman of the NSITF board. “We wish to state that the directive by Dr. Chris Ngige for NUPENG to submit its Annual Financial Return within seventy-two hours is in gross violation of Section 40 of the Trade Union Act 2005 and therefore an exercise in illegality and lawlessness.”
“We wish to remind the Minister that the right to protest and picketing are guaranteed by Section 40 of the Nigerian constitution, Section 43 of the Trade Union Act and Conventions 98 and 78 of the International Labour Organization . “It was only when the fishing expedition failed to grab anything against the Nigeria Labour Congress that the hunters turned their barrels on NUPENG. This attitude of vindictiveness is not only unbecoming of “the only competent Authority on Labour matters” but also uncivilized, ungentlemanly, undemocratic, uncut and unpolished.
