The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Monday insisted that it would ‘shut down’ Ogun State as it planned.
It said there was no amount of threat that could stop it.
The NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba made this known at a briefing with the media, in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
According to him, the Ibikunle Amosun administration had trampled on the rights of the state workers for too long and it had got to a stage where, as a responsible leader, he must act to reverse the situation.
He condemned the Governor for issuing a statement warning them (workers) to shelve their plans else they would be disgraced.
He hinted that, they had informed all the relevant security agencies, stating “If anything untoward happens to any of the workers, the governor should be held responsible”
Among the workers’ allegations against the Amosun government is the dismissal of the State’s NLC Chairman, Comrade Akeem Ambali.Others, according to them, are:
* Alleged refusal to pay the salaries and allowances of TASCE Omu Workers and the illegal Proscription of Trade Unions in TASCE Omu
* Alleged fraudulent diversion of Ogun State Workers’ Contributory Pension Deductions running into 105 months been the highest in Nigeria.
* Reduction of Retirees Gratuity against Pension Laws/ Unpaid Gratuities to Public Servants in Ogun State.
