The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called on Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to stop the blame game over his failure of managing the industrial crisis in the state.
Tribune Online reports that NLC in the state embarked on a strike and protest that was greeted by attacks in the state.
According to a statement signed by its President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, on Tuesday, NLC expressed disappointment in El-Rufai’s thinking that Nigerian workers would need financial leverage from a state governor or any other person in order to carry out its campaigns or activities.
Wabba said this in reaction to a viral video where Governor El-Rufai alleged that the recent protest by the NLC in Kaduna was sponsored by the Kano State government.

…everyone knows that investment in the education of these children is the best gamble this country could ever take, as our future will be bleak for as long as that ugly culture persists. To take 800,000 children off the streets in Kaduna State, they probably need a new task force that can absorb as many as 5,000 workers, constantly on the streets to ensure compliance.
roforofo fight between Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State and leaders of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has come and gone. Let us assume that was the phase 1, because both parties had to sheathe their swords only upon the intervention of the Federal Government. While the standoff lasted, hateful words were hauled back and forth. El-Rufai became Hell Rufai, and the NLC president, Ayuba Wabba was labelled a fugitive from law and bandit. Over and above, what we saw in Kaduna was a clash of ideologies, and that made the issue very symbolic for the wellbeing of the soul of Nigeria, and indeed a

Benard Longe, the former managing director and chief executive officer of First Bank of Nigeria, was hated by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) over the reforms he initiated in the bank, which at the time he took over was literally speaking dead. With an aging workforce that was very comfortable, that in fact celebrated archaic banking as a way of life, a workforce that preferred the tally number system that kept its customers the whole day in the bank, a workforce that bluntly refused to embrace technology that made life easy.
IGP Alkali Baba
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Alkali Baba, has berated governors who are clamouring for state police saying they are inviting anarchy.
Speaking at the Open Government Partnership Week in Abuja, the IGP said those governors asking for state police are doing so for selfish purpose because they want to use the instrument of state police against their political opponents.
The IGP, represented by Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Lemu Sanusi, said: “But state police will bring anarchy. Look at what is happening with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in Kaduna. With state police what will the situation be? If there is an armed robbery case, a governor cannot send state police. What the governors are looking for are instruments to defeat their political opponents.”
