The Executive Governor of Abia state, His Excellency Dr. Alex Chioma Otti has met with the leadership of organised Labour in Abia State; Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), and reassured them of his commitment to the welfare of workers, Igbere TV reports.
Against the backdrop of misleading information, Governor Otti says his government has not received any dime from the Federal Government to implement 35,000 Naira wage award for workers in the State but promised to look into the wage award demand of Abia Workers.
Governor Otti stated this during a meeting he held with the leadership of the organized labour in the State. He disclosed that his government will create the Ministry of Labour and Productivity as his government is poised to make minimum changes to the structure of government.
According to him, the new Ministry will have its Commissioner from the Labour fold.
