BREAKING: Labour Threatens Nation’s Shutdown After Bloody Protest


Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to bring the country to a halt in the heat of the face-off between the workers’ union and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige over the latter’s refusal to assent to the workers’ choice of Comrade Frank Kokori as Chairman, National Insurance Trust Fund (NISTF).

Readers recall that earlier today, a protest which the workers had intended to be peaceful turned bloody when elements believed to be thugs came from nowhere and unleashed violent attacks on the workers, inflicting injuries on many.

So this Frank kokori is using the nlc as a tool to gain an undeserved employment.

It goes a long way to show the kind of man he is and what his administration would be if given a chance.

You guys can shutdown Aso rock, but leave Nigerians out of your selfish ambition. Let Nigerians know when you're ready to shutdown the country because of the insecurity and hardship in the country.

Ngige is not a good man for that position.

He doesn't protect the interest of the people he's leading.

1. NSITF has tripartite stakeholders:government, employers (NECA) and employees (labour), it is right and fair that whoever should be the chairman of board of NSITF should be neutral and unconnected to any of the stakeholders. Frank Kokori is known Labour man, which makes unfair for him to be chairman.

2. The NSITF bill says the chairman of its board shall be appointed by the president on the recommendation of the minister. So what law gives NLC the right to insist that it should appoint the chairman when it doesn't constitute the government.

3. While its peers all over the world have massive investments to support retired workers, NSITF still remains a toddler since establishment with little investment. Rather it has become 'cash cow' for each presiding board and management team to enrich themselves.

4. Time has come for reforms. The first step is to put a neutral professional to manage the fund as done all over the world. Minister's nominee is a qualified accountant and insurance professional with extensive experience. Frank Kokori lacks such qualifications.

5. Does it not amount to abuse of Labour unionism for NLC to threaten to shut down the economy just to force government to appoint Frank Kokori? Now, if government gives in, it loses its authority as government as NLC will easily manipulate it by threat of economy shut down to have its way always. The tail does not wag the dog. No, the dog wag the tail. Now, can NLC leadership give in to threat by any of its affiliates?

6. There are many appointments that can be given to Frank Kokori. NLC Insisting on chairmanship of NSITF or nothing is suspicious.
