The Alliance on Surviving Covid-19 and Beyond (ASCAB) led by a human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana, yesterday told the federal and State governments that their condemnation of Killings by bandits across the country particularly in the North West Zone was not enough to address the issue.
ASCAB in a statement issued yesterday and signed by its Interim Chairman, Falana urged governments to do everything possible to rescue all kidnapped students from the custody of their abductors.
The group in the statement however said that their hearts go to the parents and family members of students âwho have been brutally murdered by one of the several gangs of bandits operating without any serious challenge in many states in the North West Zoneâ.
The Forum for Public Sector Associations and Unions (Forum) has petitioned the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to ensure parity among labour unions in the celebration of May Day, starting with the 2021 event scheduled for Saturday, May 1.
The Forum says May Day, which celebrates the contribution of workers to national development must be national in character by involving all the three major labour associations or centres in the country.
The petition listed the three centres as the Trades Union Congress (TUC), the Ghana Federation of Labour and the Forum.
It said just like the Forum, each of the centres was made up of many national unions, and as such any celebration that did not involve all three was unfair to workers.
