OYO STATE WORKERS THREATEN INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION OVER MINIMUM WAGE

Workers in Oyo State have warned that there will be no industrial peace in the state unless the state government implements the new N18,000 minimum wage.



The workers, at their congress held in Ibadan on

Friday, apart from passing a vote of no confidence in the leadership of the three labour unions in the state, rejected the salary time-table released by the state government on the implementation of the minimum wage.



The angry workers affirmed that they had passed a vote of no confidence in the labour leaders over what they described as their inability to protect their interest during the negotiation with the state government on the implementation of the minimum wage.



On the alleged compromised position of the union leaders, the workers argued that this led to the release of the unacceptable time-table by the government, insisting that there was no way industrial peace would reign in the state unless there was a change of heart on the part of the state government.



The workers, led by an acclaimed chairman of the caretaker committee, Comrade Bayo Akande, rained curses on their leaders for yielding to government overtures to short-change them in the preparation of the minimum wage time-table.



They unanimously resolved to resume at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) secretariat by 8.00a.m. every morning as from today until their demand (full implementation of the N18,000 minimum wage across board as against the current time-table which only takes care of levels 01-04) was met.

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
