Comerade Joe Ajaero, while commissioning the newly built Kogi NLC Secretariat under the leadership of Onu Johnson Edoka in Lokoja on Monday made the call .

The NLC Boss who was represented by the General Secretary of the union, Emmanuel Ogwaja, noted that peaceful relationship between the labour organisation and the government would no doubt entrench productivity of the national workforce.

Ajaero said that no “meaningful development can take place in an atmosphere of rancour and misunderstanding between labour and government. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ”

He commended the unity amongst the various unions in the state, stressing that when workers unite, their struggles would not go in vein.

He further lauded the achievements of the NLC leadership in Kogi state, under Comerade Onu Johnson Edoka.

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC) in Kogi State, Comrade Onuh Edoka disclosed that the project was soley executed through the union’s initiative and funding and no Government in power can seal it’s secretariat for whatever reasons.

According to him, numerous challenges were encountered during the building project, as the union got little support from stakeholders in the State.

“No government can come out and close this Secretariat if workers embark on strike. This Secretariat belongs to us. The Government offered little support in building of our Secretariat. We know what is happening in other states where NLC secretariat was built by the State Government, so we are careful that is why we went all out to source for fund to build NLC secretariat by ourselves with little support from Government”

Edoka, who will be handing over to a new Executive of NLC this week appreciated Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello for his support towards ensuring that NLC in Kogi State has their own Secretariat for over 30 years of their existence.

He, however, used the medium to also commend the Auditor General of Local Government, Alhaji Usman Ododo for his support in the completion of the Secretariat.

Edoka appealed to Kogi Workers to always support NLC towards achieving their goal in the State.
