Strike Suspension: It's unfortunate, but dialogue is Key ― C'River NLC

By Ike Uchechukwu

The leadership of Organised Labour in Cross River comprising of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC& Trade Union Congress, TUC have described the suspension of the strike scheduled to hold today as unfortunate adding that dialogue was key in every negotiation.

The leaders of the two Union, Com. Ben Ukpebi and his TUC counterpart, Monday Ogbodum said this on Monday while debriefing workers at Zoo garden, Calabar, said everyone was prepared for the action but unfortunately the leadership thought it wise to give Federal government two weeks to meet their demands.

Speaking with Vanguard shortly after addressing the workers, Com Ben Ukpebi said it was unfortunate that the strike was suspended stressing that workers across the state and beyond were ready to go all out and bring government to its knees but they had to give government the benefit of the doubt.

“We have no choice than to obey what the leadership at the National level has instructed, it is unfortunate that the strike was suspended but dialogue is still key.

“When things like this happen you start heading stories of betrayal and compromise but dialogue is still the best way, it is a suspension and not a total call off, so we are on top of the situation,” he said.

On his part, TUC Chairman, Monday Ogbodum said that Nigerians should strive by keeping faith with them as the battle has not been lost.

He said:” It is not yet over, we have only agreed to give the Federal government two weeks to meets our demands, nothing has changed, Nigerians, workers should keep faith with us, we will never disappoint them

“We want to appeal to Cross River workers and Nigerians, that two weeks is not two months or two years, they should keep faith with us, and also turn out en masse as they have done today, even though the strike was suspended,” he said.

How to jump-start Nigeria economy post-COVID-19 Pandemic

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha
