The Federal government of Nigeria says it will no longer tolerate industrial actions that do not follow due process “particularly during the transition period of the current administration”.
![We’ll no longer tolerate strikes that don’t follow due process - Federal Government warns](https://jaybesttrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/IMG-20221021-WA0042.jpg)
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, issued the warning after receiving an award of excellence conferred on him by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) at the 42nd annual general meeting/scientific conference.
A statement was released by his media aide, Olajide Oshundun, quotes the Minister saying;
“The federal government will no longer tolerate a strike that does not pass through due process. Any group that embarks on strike will be visited with section 43 of the Trade Dispute Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
The law states that when a worker goes on strike, especially those on essential services, the employer can also refuse to pay compensation or wages which accompanies work done.
The due process of a strike is that social dialogue negotiation with employers should be done first.
Failure to do so, the federal ministry of labor and employment office in the affected state or FCT should be notified and, finally, a trade dispute notice (TDN) served.”
He also advised all aggrieved unions to emulate the doctors and commence proactive discussions with the federal government rather than resort to strike whenever issues arise.
