The federal government of Nigeria has urged public servants to ignore the strike planned for Monday by organized labour, saying efforts are in place to resolve all contending issues.
This is contained in a circular issued yesterday signed by
Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
The circular read: “Sequel to the call by the labour unions
for workers to embark on industrial action from Monday, 28th September 2020,
the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF, wishes to
inform all public servants that the federal government team is currently
engaging with the labour unions with a view to resolving all contentious issues
and avert the planned industrial action.
“Furthermore, it is important to note that there is a court
injunction granted by the National Industrial Court (Suit No.
NICN/ABJ/253/2020) on 24th September 2020 restraining the Nigeria Labour
Congress and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria from embarking on any form of
industrial action pending the hearing and determination of a Motion on Notice.
“Accordingly, all officers on Grade Level 12 and above and
those on essential services are hereby strongly advised to be at work to
perform their official duties.
“Permanent Secretaries and Chief Executive Officers are
therefore enjoined to bring the contents of this circular to the attention of
all concerned officers and ensure strict compliance.”
