The Senate has frowned at some excessive actions taken by some members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) during nationwide strike action for a new minimum wage on Monday.
It specifically declared that the shutdown of the National grid by some Labour Unionists was more of economic sabotage than agitation for a new minimum wage and also disruption of Hajj flights.
It consequently declared that such a situation would not be allowed to – reoccur as laws against it would be reflected in the new National Minimum Wage Act that would be enacted soon after the submission of the bill to that effect by the executive.
President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio said though it was heartwarming that the strike has been suspended but however, stressed that excesses made by some labour unionists need to be frowned upon.
