Industrial crisis is looming in Ekiti over sack of 21 workers of the State House of Assembly recruited under the tenure of former Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The workers were sacked in January 2020 over claims that their recruitment by the Fayose administration did not follow due process and was therefore illegal, according to News Agency of Nigeria.
But the labour unions disagreed with the sack of the workers and had asked the leadership of the Ekiti State House Assembly to recall the 21 sacked workers, a request that has not been acceded to .
On Wednesday, the unions gave notice to Speaker, Funminiyi Afuye, indicating their readiness to embark on statewide strike in seven days if the workers were not recalled.

+ March 04, 2021 DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III on Thursday, March 4, 2021 said the reported “no vaccine, no work” policy in some companies is illegal.
He said a company cannot force its employees to get vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
He said this policy can be considered discriminatory since there is limited supply of vaccines.
Earlier, the Associated Labor Union (ALU) said they have received reports from workers in the agriculture, manufacturing and services (hotels, restaurants and call centers) sector that their employers were requiring them to get vaccinated.
ALU-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines spokesperson Alan Tanjusay said they will help the workers file complaints against their employers who would implement the no vaccine, no work policy.
