NLC Strike: Rivers Government Threatens Workers With ‘no Work, No Pay’ Order by Islie(op): 7:38am On May 19, 2016

The Rivers State government says it will adhere strictly to the ‘no work, no pay’ directive of the Federal government on any civil servant that complies with the industrial action called by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.

The state Head of Service, Rufus Godwin disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt.

Civil servants in Rivers State had met a locked gate at the State secretariat on arrival to work on the first day of the nationwide strike.

It took the effort of security operatives supervised by the Head of Service to open the gates for workers to gain access into the premises.

However, Godwin said the state government was bound by the subsisting order of the National Industrial court.

He said the civil servants working under the Rivers state government were not allowed to participate in the industrial action.

“We are going to apply the Federal government directive of no work, no pay rule. We will be strict on that. Anybody who absents himself from work will be treated accordingly under the relevant rules,” he said.

RSG is trying to be too clever with this statement though, following the Italian adage that says "when you want to pull a snake out of its hole, be sure to use someone else's hand".

Why chip in "FG directive" when the action is strictly one taken by the state government?? There is no such thing as "compliance with the FG directive" here since the RSG employees are under the pay-roll of the state and not the FG.

Discerning minds should know the difference. This is a decision by the RSG and has absolutely nothing to do with the FG. Bringing in the FG is just a ploy to deflect anger from themselves.

Not just states....it cuts money to everyone else.

That is why Nigeria must diversify....not talk about it....do it.
