Former General Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Chief Frank Kokori, has urged the central labour unions to give immediate solidarity support to the striking workers of Judiciacy Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).
Kokori gave the charge on Tuesday at his home in Delta State.
He specifically urged the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) as well as NUPENG and PENGASSAN to give solidarity to the judiciary workers to attain financial autonomy for the sake of democracy.
He insisted that the battle against anti-judicial independence forces must be defeated once and for all to set the country on the path of true democracy.

There are contractors who bring [them to Ghana] and place the children at vantage points and supervise them to beg. The Accra Regional Police Command will be looking into that,” ACP Ofori said, as quoted by Citinewsroom.
“The street is littered with children. Sooner or later, we will be descending on the contractors who go to neighbouring countries to bring the children, collect the money and in the end benefit.” Child begging has been rampant in Accra in recent years despite efforts by city authorities to clamp down on the menace.
