 A 10-member bi-patite committee was on Thursday mandated to resolve the dispute between the Kaduna State Government and organised labour. Nigerians have, however, expressed mixed reactions on whether the Nigeria Labour Congress has been championing the cause of Nigerian workers in recent times. Plus TV Africa's correspondent Ngoziqa Ochaesi has more on this report. The CZ won a strike by the Nigerian Labour Congress against the sacking of some Kaduna State workers, which began on Monday, led to the shutdown of electricity, airports and schools, among others. However, the federal government convened a consolatory meeting with the Kaduna State Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, led by its president, Ayuba Waba, to resolve the impasse that has grounded labour activities in the state. A public affairs analyst, Fermi Lawson, says the Nigerian Labour Congress has to wake up to its responsibilities, as Nigerians do not take them seriously like they used to. Meanwhile, this rift between Kaduna State Government and NLC has sparked reactions, as some residents believe that organised labour is still capable of holding the government to account in their policies regarding workers' welfare, while others say they are disappointed in NLC. The NLC is capable, due that the problem is from the governor of the Kaduna State, because in the law, so no other governor or government superhead the NLC. They have the legal powers to hold the government, not only in Kaduna, in all states. So the NLC has the power to hold the government accountable when they go against the labour laws. Well, in this country, we don't have any other room that can cry for the workers here in Nigeria. It's only the NLCs we know, and we believe that is the only people we know that can fight for the right of the workers. So I don't believe in NLC, simple because for the past they have failed times of oil increase and other things, so I don't really believe in NLC. It is hoped that the outcome of the next meeting, which will hold on Tuesday, will determine the fate of the sacked workers and the position of the strike.
