President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2017, named members of NSITF’s Board with Chief Kokori as Chairman of the Board, but since the naming of Kokori as the Board Chairman, the Minister of Labour and Employment, for reasons best known to him, deliberately refused to inaugurate the board, giving one unconvincing reason after another.

After unending intrigues and schemings, to the chagrin of many Nigerians especially Labour leaders among other stakeholders, the Minister on Wednesday, April 17, announced the constitution of a new board of NSITF, replacing Kokori with Mr. Austin Enejamo-Isere, claiming President Buhari, had instead approved the appointment of Kokori as the Chairman of the Board of Michael Imoudu National Institute of Labour Studies, MINILS.

Investigation has revealed why the Minister does not trust the uncompromising veteran Labour leader to be chairman of NSITF board, but why someone else? According to one of the sources, from then, it was resolved that “Chief Kokori cannot be trusted to play ball. From then on, it became an ego issue.”

Jolted by unexpected swarm of labour leaders at the planned inauguration and unable to anticipate what could happen if the inauguration went on as scheduled, the minister after earlier statement by the ministry, poured out his venom and inner mind with a statement that clearly buttress the Biblical saying that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Speaking at the botched inauguration Ngige organized Kokori said “this is a government that talks of integrity and you allowed a man like Ngige to humiliate me for two years after my appointment. Yesterday (Wednesday) they now said I should go to Micheal Imoudu. If they had given me Micheal Imoudu when I retired fro NUPENG, I should have accepted. Why should I subject myself to trauma for two years and you promised that the appointment remains and congratulated me for more than five times. The President assured me during the last June 12 exercise that they will not do anything to my appointment.

“I feel Ngige is on his own, dropping the name of the President, not the President I know and who assured me that he will not change my name. I am thankful to the Nigeria labour movement and the great union called the National Union of Petroleum and Natural gas. I spent the whole of my youthful life to build this union as a fighting machine. I thank you all for your support and may God bless you all
