Minister of Labor, Chris Ngige, says
according to the laws of the land,
anyone participating in an illegal
strike is liable to a N100k fine or six
months jail term.
He said this while speaking with
newsmen at the end of the Federal
Executive Council meeting in Abuja
yesterday May 18th. He said:
“ If you embark on a strike that is
illegal, if you don’t give 15 days
notice especially if you are a
member of essential service, you will
be liable to a fine of N100, 000 or
six months in jail. If we invoke it
now they will say this is a ruthless
government but they(labor) are
going outside the law.
This is a change government and
we want to bring everybody on
board into a peace and orderly
process”.
