Ebonyi Gov Threatens to Sack Workers Over Strike, Frustrated with Governors Lack of Action

Ebonyi Governor threatens to sack striking workers after Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress criticizes his handling of their demands. The Governor's statement was made in response to perceived indifference towards the workers' plight.

Ebonyi State Governor has threatened to sack striking workers who refuse to return to work, according to Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLCA) in Ebonyi State, Prof. Oguguo Egwu. The warning comes after the governor's perceived lackadaisical attitude towards the plight of striking workers was expressed by Professor Egwu on Sunday. The strike has been ongoing for an unspecified duration, with the labor congress calling for better working conditions and other demands from the government. Governor's threat to terminate contracts of employees who do not resume work suggests a tense standoff between the state government and its labor representatives.
