The Northern Nigeria socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has reacted to the stand-off between the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Kaduna State Government.

The Northern apex socio-political group called on Governor Nasir El-Rufai to reconsider his decision to downsize the workforce.

The ACF also called on the leadership of the NLC to reconsider his stand, adding that its displeasure and point against the Kaduna Government have been registered.

The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Emmanuel Yawe, in a statement on Tuesday evening, ACF said Nigerian was already faced with many challenges that a strike action that has crippled the strategically located state like Kaduna for days running will only make things worse for the ordinary man.

The ACF said: “For two days now the activities of the Kaduna state government have been crippled by a strike called by the Nigerian Labour Congress. Hospitals, electricity/ water services, the airport, the road/rail transport, and many other services in the state have been crippled.

“The National President of Nigerian Labour Congress NLC Ayuba Wabba said there is no going back on the strike until the government follows the law in dealing with workers in the state. Labour is particularly angry with the state government over the massive lay-off of civil servants in the state.

“ACF advises the Kaduna state government to reconsider its decision particularly on downsizing the workforce in the state services. We suggest that as a way out, maybe those earlier marked for a layoff should be given some more time to make sure they acquire new and or additional skills.

“The Labour should also reconsider their stand. Their displeasure and point against the Kaduna state government have gone on record.

“Nigeria is already faced with so many problems that a strike action that has crippled the strategically located town of Kaduna for days running will only make things worse for the ordinary man.”
