House Of Representatives Appeals To Organized Labour To Shelve October 3 Strike

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen has appealed to organised Labour not to embark on their planned strike, saying that such action would worsen an already challenging situation in the country.

Abbas, who spoke while addressing members of the House upon resumption from their two-month break, said the organized Labour should give the parliament more time to engage the executive on issues raised by them.

He said the NLC appeared to have run out of patience with the plans being put in place by the government for wage increases and palliatives for workers.

Abass however acknowledged the hardship being faced by the Nigerian people as a result of the harsh economic environment in the country and the removal of petroleum subsidy.

Orban Receives Two-Game Suspension And €1,500 Fine For Striking Opponent In Belgium

After receiving a red card in KAA Gent's recent 2-1 victory over KAS Eupen, Gift Orban is set to face a two-game suspension.

The 21-year-old was sent off a minute before halftime for an incident involving an opponent, marking the first time in 57 professional games that he has received such a penalty.

Gent's official website has confirmed that Orban will be absent for one game, with the second match postponed. The Federal Public Prosecution Service has recommended this two-match suspension, with one game deferred. The statement clarifies the reason for the red card: "Orban received a red card in the match against Eupen after he pushed an opponent."

The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office categorises the incident as "physical misconduct," specifically citing "a brutal push with high intensity." Orban's clean disciplinary record over his previous matches is noted to his advantage, with the office stating, "A minimum suspension of two matches - being the lower limit as determined in the indicative table - is appropriate." Additionally, a fine of €1,500 has been proposed.

Gent is anticipated to respond to the verdict by Tuesday. Consequently, the Nigeria international will be absent from Wednesday Buffalos' league match against Royal Antwerp. His return to action is anticipated in the match against RWD Molenbeek on Sunday.

Notably, Orban has encountered challenges in front of goal this season following his noteworthy performance in the previous term.
