Governor
Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State is urging striking workers to call off their
strike in the interest of peace and for the socio-economic development of the
state.
In a meeting with some stakeholders to commemorate 18 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, the governor said that the meeting was aimed at appreciating and acknowledging the contributions of those that served and are still serving the state since when he assumed office in 2011.
He also alleged that the strike, which was embarked upon by the organised labour, has a political motive.
Chairman in the state, Abdullahi Adeka, had on May 26 announced the suspension of the strike, saying the state government has started implementing their demands.
However, on May 27, a factional NLC Chairman, Bala Umar, asked workers to continue with the strike, insisting that the government was yet to meet up with their demands.
The workers are demanding for full payment of their salary arrears, promotion and enhanced condition of service.
