What you should know
The NLC President had led workers in the state on a warning strike following the recent disengagement of over about 7,000 civil servants at the state and local governments by the state government.
In solidarity with the protest on Monday, aviation workers also shut down operations of Kaduna International Airport (KIA).
Other affiliate unions including the National Union of Petroleum Employees of Nigeria (NUPENG), National Union of Electricity Employees of Nigeria (NUEE), National Union Of Textile, Tailoring and Garment Workers of Nigeria are also in the protest.
You are not a serious person. People who were out demonstrating peacefully you are saying they are hiding and also promising handsome reward,.
Kaduna state governor have forgetting that he did that to Jonathan, and now they were doing it to you and you are saying no.
They should increase the strike by more weeks as the state is not remorseful
NLC should extend the strike by more weeks as the state is not remorseful
The idiot governor El-Rufai is a terrorist
You would have ban NLC in kaduna.
Up up up NLC El-rufa,I he is not a good leader he is only a ruler God will straight you our NLC
Kaduna state government headed by El Rufai should promptly invite labour to a purposeful round table meeting. If disengagement of staffs is the way forward it can be done in stages. Starting with those who have fulfilled the years of service or incentive for early retirement like a jumbo PAYOFF.
