The three-day warning strike embarked upon by organised labour in Ekiti State on Monday has been called off.
According to The Punch, the strike was organised as a result of some issues; especially with regards to welfare.
There was a plan to commence the strike on Monday after the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum it earlier issued to the state government.
This development was carried out by the organised labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress and Joint Negotiating Council.
Meanwhile, after the initial option of strike, it was stated that the strike had been called off “immediately”.
This was the result of what was stated in the resolutions at the end of the meeting between the state government and organised labour made available to journalists on Monday.
The document, entitled “Resolutions at the meeting of the meeting of the state government with the organised labour on the outstanding welfare issues of Ekiti State workers” was signed by the Head of Service, Mrs Peju Babafemi; the Senior Special Assistant Labour, Chief Olayemi Esan; and Permanent Secretary, Service Matters, Mr Bayo Opeyemi for the government.
Signatories on the side of Labour are the state chairmen of NLC, Kolapo Olatunde; TUC, Sola Adigun; and JNC, Kayode Fatomiluyi; and the secretaries of JNC, Gbenga Olowoyo; TUC,
Kuloogun Lawrence; and NLC, Taiwo Akinyemi.
