The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Rivers council, has condemned the registration of another Labour Centre in the country.
The state TUC Chairman, Mr Chika Onuegbu, said on Monday in Port Harcourt that the creation of another labour centre would be disadvantageous and a waste of resources.
According to him, the plan by politicians to weaken the trade union movement is not the way out of corruption and is capable of weakening the transformation agenda.
“It is important for the Federal Government to demonstrate its seriousness on the fight against corruption and insecurity in the country.
“And as such, President Goodluck Jonathan should distance his administration from the continued plot by some political jobbers to weaken the Nigerian labour movement.
“Creating another labour centre will be inimical because the key industrial unions that cover the most crucial aspects of the Nigerian economy and polity are still loyal to TUC and NLC.”
Onuegbu said that combating insecurity would ensure the much-desired transformation and urged the Federal Government to focus on ways of cushioning the effect of the subsidy on the workers.
The chairman, however, said the union would always support anything that would enhance the nation’s development. (NAN)
