Inject Recovered Loots Into Ajaokuta Steel, Labour Tells FG

The United Labour Congress of Nigeria, ULC, has advised the Federal Government to use the recovered loots to revive the Ajaokuta Steel Company, ASC, and other moribund industries in the country.



This was disclosed by the President of ULC, Mr. Joe Ajaero, in Lokoja at the inauguration of the State Executive members of ULC.

Ajaero, who was represented by the National Auditor of the Congress, Otori Maliki, noted that injecting the recovered funds into ASC, the textile industry, mining and petroleum sectors will help create the needed jobs for Nigerians.

He further stated that as a matter of necessity, Federal Government should approve a realistic minimum wage to meet the current economic and market realities.

The labour President charged the state executive to carry out its statutory obligations for the betterment of workers.

While delivering his speech, the state ULC Chairman, Eleojo Opaluwa, urged the state government to pay all arrears of salaries and entitlements owed workers.
