 The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC Kaduna State Council has dismissed as force the claims by the state government that the union had mobilized a mob to disrupt peace during the ongoing five-day warning strike. Established by the state NLC chairman Ayubat Saliban on Sunday, assured workers and the general public of their commitments to maintain peace during the strike action, the union therefore alerted the general public to watch out for thugs. It's alleged to be recruited by the Kaduna State government to disrupt the peace in order to blame the NLC. The union also said the state government had denied health workers, almost all allowances such as hazard call, duty shifting and rural posting. The NLC further said that the Kaduna State government has failed to pay the retirement benefit of 80% of the 35,000 civil servants it disengaged in 2017.
