I wasted my precious time reading this poorly written post , without enough content

Dangote is not straight forward.

He brought down his price to 699, marketers stop import and switch to dangote product. After making payments for millions of litters, he revert to 799 per liter.

The catch is you would be supplied the quantity that the current price can buy with the already made payment.

He has proven that he can not be trusted.

It's time for government to place high tariffs on export of Petroleum products by dangote while using it to subsidize import and cutting off completely naira for crude sales by NNPC.

He will have no option than to negotiate fixed local price for the product or drink it if no country is willing to buy from him.

It's about time Nigeria government begin reaping foreign exchange from that refinery or render it useless should dangotes greed persist.

Freshandfitpod:
PDP is already on life support but wike think he is smart enough to hold the party hostage and control it like he owns it. Politics don't work that way, wike is party drunk and will lose all at the end. Mark my words.

Greenfusion:
how many computer based test did wike do b4 he became governor, and how many did he do b4 minister, and how many did he do during the course of his job......? Truly, na nigerians nor truly get sense that y politicians dey do us anyhow

DeGLORIOUS:
Your assertion is still a lame one. Publish the results let's know who pass. It will settle every doubt.

DeGLORIOUS:
[b] Let me agree with you that they couldn't pass the exam. But If they tell you that out of 8 000 FCT workers who sat for the exam, only 22 percent passed the computer based test would you agree?. Wether yes or not, let's look at this, what was the cutoff score for the exam? What if it were 80% and 22% passed, is it fair enough? What about 70%or 60%? Before saying that someone fails an exam, we must look at the criteria for passing that exams. Asides that, the premises for the exam for 8000 people, the nature of the exam and the timing and how it was conducted must be considered before concluding that someone failed an exam. The 22%, i can bet you that teachers alone that passed the exam are more than 22%. Checking at the minister's track records, during his time as River state Governor, did the Civil servants enjoy promotion? This behaviour is part of Wike's character. He believes that what he did in the state can be achieved in the FCT, it won't work. Health care workers have been on strike for long and you don't care about that but Project, is it the deads that will enjoy the projects? Or is he building it for ghosts? He don over do [/b]

Akpabio has scored own goal.

You want people to enter the train so bandits can kidnap them with the useless cheap old train you people bought

anonimi:
Why are you not also having renewed hope for wicked, ologogoro, land grabbing Wike to pay up and promote FCT workers as expected in law

Why does he love denying workers benefits even though Tinubu exempted him from the TSA account for the higher revenue he has been generating since 2023

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja, has granted an interlocutory injunction filed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the FCT Administration, compelling workers under the Joint Union Action Committee to suspend their ongoing strike.

The claimants had dragged the Chairman of the Joint Union Action Committee, Rifkatu Iortyer, and the Secretary, Abdullahi Umar Saleh, before the court in suit number NICN/ABJ/17/2026, seeking an order restraining the defendants and their agents from embarking on any industrial action, picketing or lockout.

Delivering his ruling on Tuesday, Justice E.D. Subilim held that although the matter before the court amounted to a trade dispute and had met the required legal conditions, the defendants’ right to embark on industrial action was not absolute.

“The defendant’s right to an industrial action is not absolute, but as circumscribed by law,” he said.

He ruled that workers were prohibited from participating in a strike once a dispute had been referred to the National Industrial Court, adding that where such a strike was already ongoing, it must cease pending the determination of the case.

Justice Subilim said the claimants had established a compelling case that warranted the granting of the order for the workers to suspend the ongoing strike.

“An order of interlocutory injunction is hereby granted, restraining the defendants and respondents, their agents, representatives… together with all other members of the Joint Unions Action Committee … from further embarking on any industrial action, strike, picketing, lockout, or any other form of obstruction against the claimant, parastatals, and political appointees.

“This includes but is not limited to actions aimed at crippling operations, blocking roads, obstructing the flow of vehicular movement… or by any means frustrating their business activities. This order shall remain in force, pending the hearing and determination of the originating summons filed in this suit,” Justice Subilim said.

The court adjourned the matter until March 23, 2026, for the hearing of the substantive suit.

Counsel for the claimants, James Onoja, SAN, hailed the court’s decision to grant the order suspending the workers’ strike, stating that the ruling would give both parties an opportunity to engage in discussions.

He, however, appealed to the unions to obey the court order and return to work, while also allowing room for mediation.

“We commend the court for making an order for the stopping of the strike, restraining the workers from going on strike, or continuing with the strike. I think this is commendable because it is going to allow the parties to discuss.

“Our plea to the Union is that they should allow industrial harmony. They should go back to work and allow for mediation, because to me, it’s like a family matter, and this is an opportunity that the Union should take,” he said.

Counsel for the respondents, Maxwell Opara, described the workers as law-abiding citizens, adding that he would advise the unions to respect the court order.

“The workers are law-abiding citizens. We are going to advise them to respect the court. The one good thing is that the court has also mandated that we commence mediation, not as a matter of advice, in line with the law.

“Now that we are in court, we are going to do the formal application. So, we are going to comply with the ruling whichever way, whether it is effective, whether it is ineffective, we must comply with it,” Opara said.

Meanwhile, JUAC President, Rifkatu Iortyer, said the workers would comply with the order, call off the strike and immediately return to work, while continuing to “push for other things”.

“We are law-abiding citizens, and because they have said we should return to work, we are returning to work, pending our next appearance,” she stated.
