The Minister of
Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, has appealed to the Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) to rescind its planned warning strike over the new
electricity tariff in the overall interest of the nation.
He made the appeal
in Abuja yesterday at the 3rd Triennial National Delegates Conference of
the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies
(SSAEAC).
Ngige said the
dispute over the increase in electricity tariff was before the National
Assembly, urging the NLC to allow the National Assembly arbitrate on the
matter.
The minister
advised investors in the power sector to provide decent working
environment for their staff as his ministry would no longer tolerate
unfair labour practices, even as he urged workers to do their best in
the promotion of productivity.
