Edo NLC Crisis: Let us build a new NLC, says Igbafen

The newly sworn -in Chairman of the caretaker committee of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Edo State, Professor Monday Igbafen has vowed to restore the dignity, welfare and rights of all workers in the state.

In a terse statement at the weekend in Benin City , Igbafen said, “the Edo State Council of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) would be reformed to restore the dignity, welfare and rights of all workers in the State. My committee would partner with all Stakeholders of Labour in the State to resolve all grievances and conflicts that have bedeviled NLC in the State for better service delivery to workers.

“NLC needs to be de politicised to enable a seamlessly working relationship with every government in power in the State”, he said

He appealed to all affiliate unions of NLC in State to cooperate to bring about the desired solidarity among workers and a progressive and workers-driven leadership through credible election.

While paying growing tribute to the nation’s outstanding labour leaders, including the great Pa Imoudu and the irrepressibly rugged Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Comrade Igbafen assured the Edo State Government of a robust collaboration to deliver its workers friendly policies.
