AGF appeals to workers to embrace peace

The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Mohammed Adoke, has expressed dismay that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress TUC have refused to join issues with the government in the judicial process and other peaceful initiatives.In a statement issued on Tuesday, the attorney-general reiterated that the order of the National Industrial Court (NIC) was a subsisting order and the continuing disregard of that order was inimical to the public interest, as it constituted an open invitation to anarchy.He stated that the current strike by the organised labour, which had prevented the legitimate pursuit of economic activities across the country in defiance of a valid subsisting order of a superior court of record, transgressed the parameters set by the constitution and extant laws.He called on the NLC/ TUC to respect the order of the National Industrial Court and engage the government in a constructive dialogue with a view to addressing hardship arising from the deregulation in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.
