Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has declared the national president of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, and other labour leaders who grounded Kaduna wanted for alleged economic sabotage.
The governor has promised handsome rewards to anyone that can help lead to their arrest handsome rewards.
Comrade Wabba was on hand in Kaduna on Monday to lead the complete strike that paralysed Kaduna on Monday.
The strike led to government and commercial activities being paralysed in Kaduna. Even the train service that shuttles Kaduna to Abuja could not operate as the Rigassa train station was shut.
In a tweet on Tuesday morning, El-Rufai while promising a handsome reward for the arrest of Wabba, said:
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Kaduna workers had on Monday turned away from work with nearly all forms of service paralysed in the state.
Wabba while flagging off the protest at the NLC secretariat at the NLC secretariat had said:
“The decision has been communicated to all security agencies of the government. It is the beginning of the struggle of labour and we hope our politicians will cooperate with us to ensure we protect our democracy by delivering its dividends to the citizens including workers.”
“Organised labour is in Kaduna to tell the world the truth of what the workers, pensioners, students and other citizens in the state are going through besides the lies being peddled by media platforms on El-Rufai’s payroll.
“The situation of the workers in the state is so pathetic that thousands of them have been laid off from their sources of livelihood without the state government making any effort to pay them their entitlements.
“Worst still, El-Rufai has gone further to increase school fees in public state school thereby making the children of those sacked from their working place without payment to become dropouts.
“It is only Kaduna State out of the other states in the country that throws workers out of their jobs without any regards for the labour law and that is why we are here.”
