Despite threats by the Ayuba Wabba faction of NLC to continue with its planned strike action today May 18th, the Federal Government has advised all workers in the Civil service to resume for work today, saying the no work no pay rule will be invoked in all ministries, agencies and department. Speaking after a meeting with labor yesterday May 17th, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal said:

"The National Industrial Court has given an injunction that no strike by NLC and TUC should hold tomorrow (today). It is therefore clear that anyone embarking on strike tomorrow (today) is doing so illegally and government is assuring all Nigerians to come out and do their jobs tomorrow (today). It the duty of government to provide security for her citizens and anyone who tries to coerce any worker to do their bidding would be made to face the law of the land. We had full cooperation with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria and they said they are not going on strike.For them, it is a complete return to work tomorrow (Wednesday).

"It is not the same with the NLC however. They have two factions, one agreed completely with the position of the TUC. Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal action. Government undertakes to guarantee the safety of workers and their workplaces, and expects that normal work will continue in the interest of the nation.

"Accordingly, security agencies have been directed to ensure unimpeded access to offices, workplaces and markets. Accordingly, all ministers, permanent secretaries and heads of government agencies are hereby directed to invoke the provision of ‘no work no pay’ in respect of any staff member who absents himself or herself from work to join the strike. Attendance registers are required to be opened in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies.”‎he said

I think the FG outsmart NLC with that court injunction. Now their strike will be considered illegal.

'no work no pay' has always been government weapon against labour.
There is nothing new .

Trying to arm-twist and blackmail workers into accepting their wicked subsidy removal...

Government should be sincere about the subsidy removal

Regurgitating the same tired lie does not make it correct. If I ask you for which specific order the president has disobeyed, you will point to Dasuki's, Kanu's and possibly FFK's, forgetting that those persoms equally have other pending cases which have not been vacated by court orders.

@topic, any strike at this point is illegal and a valid ground for anyone to lose their job. Simple as ABC.

There is no point explaining, this govt does not obey the rule of law, a lawyer friend of mine, only yesterday was lamenting, how the lawyers would want to gang-up against this govt, both senior and junior lawyers.

Hope Atm is working sha if they like let then shut down naija for a decade it doesn't concerns me.

NLC shld cover her face. Shameless mofos.

A union that can't speak with 1 voice wanna make demand from govt. NEVER.

Wat the Bleep is Wabba-faction led NLC or Ajaebo-faction led NLC?

I knew from day 1 that no reasonable demand culd be made from the jokers called NLC.

*off to work* if they want to stop me, come and get me. Awon werey!

In this time of hardship,you embark on illegal strike,na hungery go kill you if dem no pay you.
Wetin concern me concern government work? Strike or no strike,artisans dey chop belle full.

Ayuba shld go and put his house in shape, then come back with a critical demand that will b beneficial to both parties.

Now we are getting a clearer picture of the type of people in government in this country called Nigeria...

Putting people in chains for a change is democratic

What a directionless Government. Speaking from all sides of the mouth. Does PMB think he is in a military regime by applying the no work no pay policy? This is definitely blackmail and Nigerian reject it unequivocally. Lets see how far they go. We are watching.
