The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has vowed to shut down Imo State once the 14-day ultimatum issued to the state government to recall the 3 000 sacked workers expires.
President of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, Igwe Achese, a member of the 6-man action committee set up by NLC to look into the crisis made the disclosure.
He said the planned action will cripple both economic and social activities in the state as fuel and electricity supplies, banks and shops will be closed among others.
The union alleged that the state governor has raised a private militia which he armed to inflict injuries on workers.
Congress said it considers this as illegal and resolves to make a report to the Inspector General of Police, warning that in the event that Okorocha violates the law by unleashing the militia again on workers, there would be consequences.
The state government is alleged to be owing workers of the state’ agencies including Imo State Water Corporation and Imo State Transport Company, between three and 15 months salaries and other benefits.

The Government should recall them for justice and peace.

I hope this is not noise making? let them get it started so that citizens will not be taken for granted

This Imo state Governor behaves anyhow and takes workers for granted, I 'll like NLC to teach him a lesson if at all this 'll be done with one mind.

Okorocha is obviously destroying the structure of APC in Imo state, how can he be sacking workers indiscriminately & owing salaries this way but he had money to lavish on Christmas trees & bonuses some weeks back. If we must bring a change in this country, then our party must lead by example.

3000 workers sacked but you promised employment not sackloyment. Lol

The governor of Imo state has gone mad.
He is now called Emperor Nebuccadnezzer.
Ndi Imo should call on God to remove this man for them cos at this stage,its only God can upturn the powers of those principalities and strange demons and deities which Okorocha has used to gag the people.

Pls, merge that imo with another state. Okorocha na scammer!
