Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has said he bears no grudge against the leadership of the organised labour and the entire workforce in the state over the just suspended strike action.
The governor said he only saw the four day industrial action called by the state chapters of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) as one of the many beauties of democracy.
Gov. Sani Bello who spoke yesterday commended the maturity exhibited by the workers while the action lasted.
“For me as the governor and for the government, we bear no grudge against the organised labour, its leadership and entire workforce in the state. What happened was pure democracy at work. People have their right to express their grievances, especially when it is done peacefully.
The governor pointed out that government’s relationship with organised labour has not only been cordial but could be likened to a family affair.
He then assured that no worker will be penalised for role played during the four day industrial action, but called on the workers to reciprocate the gesture of the government by being productive and committed to work.
