Wike bows to pressure, as labour suspends strikePublished on September 8, 2020 By Victor Azubuike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has conceded to the demands of the organized Labour in Nigeria over the welfare of public servants in the State.

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, had in conjunction with allied unions planned a major demonstration against Wike’s government

The demonstration will be swiftly followed by a strike today, Tuesday 8th September, according to the NLC President Comrade Ayuba Wabba, and Comrade Quadri Olaleye of the TUC.

But on the eve of the protest the Rivers State Governor entered a closed-door meeting with the labour leaders where DAILY POST gathered that some agreements have been reached.

In a joint resolution signed by representatives of the Rivers State government and Labour, both parties agreed to sign the agreement on the implementation of the new National Minimum wage and consequential adjustments.

“The NLC Secretariat which was sealed for the correction of structural defects will be immediately unsealed while the government continues the correction work.

“The Rivers State government shall immediately commence the remittances of check-out dues and pay all the outstanding arrears to the respective Labour Unions.

“Rivers State government commits to the payments of the salaries to the health workers due to the strike action of 2017.

“Organised Labour agrees to immediately suspend the planned protest scheduled for Tuesday September 8, 2020,” the agreement read.

Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo and Beatrice Itubu of the NLC who are the major signatories of the agreement also resolved to discontinue all litigations.

Failure of the Rivers State government to fully implement the payment of the National Minimum Wage, lack of promotion for civil servants, failure to pay backlog of arrears of pensioners and the sealing off of the Secretariat of NLC in Port Harcourt are some of the major demands of the organised labour in the State.

Except am not seeing correctly i nothing is said here about promotion of civil servant, implementation of national minimum wage. All I see is ANOTHER setting up of TRIPARTITE committee!
In God we trust!

Nothing like promotion n implementation as at when due?

This NLC issue with Rivers State government is just another "Big Big Talk" and "Bobo Juice" nothing will come out of it.

While we keep hope in God, these people only used others as pawn in their cheese game. Health workers......explicitly said.
Remittances of check out dues and others for labour.....explicitly spelt!
Pension/gratuity for pensioner... Mentioned
Civil servant promotion/minimum wage=committee!

which one is on 14th Sept again ooo. Where do you get your date

ChyChy17:

yes oh

Our arrears now look like a closed chapter in the life of this administration. Like I have always said. Nyesom wike is someone I know his antecedents before he became Governor and I even lived in his community during my NYSC.

He only bowed to pressure because the National Body of NLC was involved. But he won't still keep to the agreement.

That September 14 resumption was fixed by Kogi state governor for his state. Rivers state ministry of education has not fixed any date yet.

Let's be hopeful

According to the information on ground, schools in Rivers State may resume between 21st and 23rd of september 2020 for a new accademic session.
