You Have No Power To Ban ASUU, NLC Tells Kogi Governor by yaqq: 2:57pm On Jul 22, 2017 |
The President of the Nigeria Labour
Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, said on
Thursday that Goveror Yahaya Bello of Kogi
had no power to proscribe union activities in
Kogi.
‘‘Gov. Bello has no power to proscribe the
union and such power does not reside with
him or with the government house,” Mr.
Wabba said in Lagos, during a visit of the
NLC leadership to affiliate unions.
On July 19, Mr. Bello proscribed the Kogi
State University Chapter of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, describing
the activities of the union as illegal.
But, Mr. Wabba is contending that workers
have fundamental human rights to join
unions of their choices as enshrined in the
Charters of the UN and ILO, to which Nigeria
is signatory.
He said it was also the right of Nigerian
workers to belong to any union of their
choice as contained in Section 40 of
Nigeria’s Constitution. “The constitution recognises that Bello is
the governor. ‘‘It also recognises that there is a trade
union which is not under the governor’s
command. It is an independent entity that
cannot be determined by the governor.’’
The labour leader told the governor to
rescind his decision because he did not
have the power to ban any union.
He argued that Mr. Bello, who had not paid
lecturers of the state-owned university for
one year, lacked the moral right to ban union
activities in the state.
Mr. Wabba, however, advised workers to
obtain their voter’s cards to enable them
vote for leaders who would listen to their
yearnings.
