A 10-Man Panel Has Been Set Up To Resolve Kaduna/ Labour Dispute

A ten-member bi-partite committee has been mandated to resolve the dispute between Kaduna State Government and the organised Labour.

The panel was raised at a meeting convened by Labour and Employment Minister Dr. CHRIS NGIGE, who waded in the industrial impasse between workers and Governor NASIR EL-RUFAI administration.

Local Government Affairs Commissioner JAFARU SANI, who co-led the state delegation with the State Head of Service and the leadership of NLC led by its President, AYUBA WABBA, signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the end of the parley.

The MoU asked the parties to settle their dispute and embrace peaceful correlation by desisting from any further industrial action and victimization of workers.

At the end of the meeting, the minister said the committee, with representatives from the state government and the NLC, will critically look at the issues under contention and resolve them based on provisions of Section 20 of the Labour Act.

According to him, the meeting agreed that no person shall be victimized for participating in the industrial action in Kaduna after which both parties appended their signature to the documents.
