NIGERIA'S Federal Government has made it clear that it would invoke the provision of “no work no pay” in respect of any staff who absents him or herself from work to join the strike action from tomorrow, Wednesday.








It said that from tomorrow, heads of the departments in various government establishment have been directed to open attendance registers for the workers.


In a statement today, Tuesday, signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engineer David Babachir Lawal, the Federal Government expressed surprise that despite the court injunction today, restraining labour unions from embarking on strike, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) still insists on embaring on an indefinite strike from Wednesday, 18th May.


“The attention of all Public Officers is drawn to the notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on an indefinite strike from Wednesday, 18th May, 2016. This notice is regrettably given in spite of an Order by the Industrial Court against the strike action.


“Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action. Government undertakes to guarantee the safety of workers and their work places, 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, work places and markets. Acts of intimidation, harassment, including barricading of gates, locking up of offices, blocking of roads and preventing workers from carrying out their lawful duties will be met with appropriate response by the law enforcement agencies.


“All workers, whether in public or private sector are further reminded of the Trade Dispute Act, 2004, which provides that “where any worker takes part in a strike, he shall not be entitled to any wages or remuneration for the period of the strike and any such period shall not count for the purpose of reckoning the period of continuous employment and all rights dependent on continuity of employment shall be prejudicially affected accordingly.”


“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 who absents him or herself from work to join the strike action. Attendance registers are required to be opened in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies.”

Even if I don't trust the source of the information, I know it's what this government is capable of.

APC and poverty are on parallel lines

nawa for this people o, make I go sleep fast fast before day break.

See yeye NLC leaders acting like they really care...
Once they got an envelop in 2days time,the matter don die...
The next you hear is 'let's continue with our work,while negotiation is on' case closed.

I don't know the essence of the proposed strike sef. This guys didn't call for strike in those states where salaries haven't been paid for months. Hypocrisy at its peak. So FG should continue to pay subsidy while we continue to buy fuel at 250 naira per litre abi.? This is ridiculous. I support it. Any lazy mumu that doesn't come to work tomorrow should be.sacked and replaced by an unemployed nairalander. Especially the ones making FTC by 2:00am.

I wont be surprise if the Apc accuses the Pdp of Sponsoring Labour to embark on strike.

Can U imagine sheikh Buhari talking about obedience of court orders?

When you think you've seen it all, this government pulls a stunt bordering incredulity. My proposed vacation's under fire again.

Good, when Jonathan was sensitive to the masses some said he lacked 'political will', now una dey see who get 'political will' abi? Na wetin una want, una go get

can you imagine?

OK.

Almost all the state are not paying salary since buhari come to power

Dts Wat u get when u elect Pharaoh as ur president. Mcheew

Yes yes! No work no pay, still, did the government take into cognizant the harsh effect the recent fuel price hike will have on nigerians?

Tomatoes and pepper is now second gold, then to add insult upon injury, they increased the price of fuel....

One of the easiest way to make money by fooling people in Naija is to be a Labour leader. Accounts are never audited!

By the time Buhari is done with Nigeria, Syria would be a more liveable country than Nigeria

A strong president accepts criticisms, a weak one avoids it
