The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige of resorting to ethnic sentiments NSITF

The Nigeria Labour Congress has accused the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige of resorting to ethnic sentiments in his bid to keep the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund within his “Sole Proprietorship”.

The Congress asked the national leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo to be wary of persons within its fold who are bent on dragging the name of the organisation to the mud. “The facts of what had transpired between Nigerian workers and the Minister of Labour are in the public domain. The issue at stake does not have any tinge of ethnic or religious colouration. We are, therefore, surprised at the recent borrowing of ethnic voices in the defense of the Minister of Labour and Employment.

“This is not the first time that Organized Labour is engaging less than altruistic Labour Ministers. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole engaged very robustly a former Minister of Labour, Chief Alabo Tonye Graham Douglas over some of the latter’s anti-labour positions despite the fact that they are from the same geo-political zone.Johnson was engaged robustly on labour issues. Mr. Johnson never resorted to ethnic jingoism for cover.
