The Nigeria Labour Congress has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to institute a Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the activities of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund since the dissolution of the last board to unearth the financial dealings in the organisation.
President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba said the call for a commission of inquiry has become necessary since the Minister has alluded to the fact that there was corruption in the agency which handles social welfare of Nigerian workers. “The NLC had two representatives in dissolved board and after the EFCC investigation, nothing was found against any of our people there. It was his Permanent Secretary that was arraigned in court. So, we are asking the President to set up the commission so that we all go there and tell them all that we know for the whole world to see”.
“The forty hours a week which the Nigerian workers subscribed to should be used for productive ventures especially in view of the new National Minimum Wage and the consequential financial adjustments.” The group in a statement signed National President of the group, Comrade Igbini Odafe Emmanuel, however, condemned the invasion of the residence of the Minister, saying even though Dr. Ngige was a Minister of the federal republic, he was still entitled to his privacy, adding that the person of Chief Frank Kokori does not deserve the level of humiliation being extended to him by the controversy surrounding the inauguration of the board of the NSITF.
