Leadership of workers in the state who had been on strike for two weeks over several months of unpaid salary, met with the in-coming governor of Friday.
In a statement signed by Njoku Jerry Ajike, the
State Publicity Secretary of the party, LP said NLC’s action was a sign of the great change that was about to happen among Abia State workforce.
“We, as the political arm of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress consider this decision to call off the strike by leadership of the TUC and NLC as a great act of patriotism and and an evidence of loyalty and support to the incoming Labour Party led government of Dr. Alex Otti”.
The Statement said leadership of the Congress had arrived at the decision on May 27, after visiting Otti at his residence.
“The Incoming Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti had reassured the workers of his commitment in improving worker’s welfare without wavering
