The rift between the Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris
Ngige, may have ended.
An indication of this was a
congratulatory letter on Monday to the minister on his reappointment.
The letter was signed by the
President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba Wabba.
Wabba said that Ngige’s
reappointment was a testament of the confidence President Muhammadu Buhari
reposed in him.
He called on Ngige to steer the
affairs of the ministry towards the upliftment of Nigerians from poverty,
indignity and indecent work conditions.
“On behalf of my family and the
NLC, I wish to congratulate you on your recent appointment by Mr. President as
a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“And your subsequent designation
as the Minister of Labour and Employment,” he said.
Wabba said it was the NLC’s
expectation that the minister would use the opportunity of his reappointment to
promote and advance tripartism.
The NLC president also called on
the minister to embrace social dialogue, decent work conditions and harmonious
industrial relations in Nigeria.
Wabba further wished Ngige a very
successful tenure.
NLC had warned Buhari not to
return Ngige as the Minister.
They accused him of deliberate
delay in inaugurating the board of the National Social Insurance Trust Fund for
years, exclusion of Frank Kokori as the chairman of the board, among others.
