Secretary-General of National
Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, and President of United Labour Congress
of Nigeria, ULC, Joe Ajaero, has said Governor Nasir el-Ruffai of Kaduna State
will be dealt with over what he termed ‘his anti-labour postures in recent
times.’
Ajaero told newsmen in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, that the Kaduna governor’s recent “indefensible” sack
of workers and the report to move wages matter to the concurrent list by the
All Progressives Congress, APC, committee on restructuring he headed would not
go unpunished.
He said: “They think labour is
just civil or public servants in their states and that is why they recommended
putting it on the concurrent list. He even went further to say civil servants
do not deserve N18, 000 minimum wage.
“Labour is more than that. Like
National Union of Electricity Employees, do we have employees that El-Rufai
controls, no! They are purely national. And these are people that are part of
labour, so at what point can you now pass it to a state?”
On the competence test the Kaduna
governor recently administered on teachers in the state, he said: “All these
are to be considered to teach El-Rufai a lesson that no other governor will
follow him to set that bad example. There will be an opportunity to deal with
him and it will be difficult for him to seek re-election.”
