Secretary To The Government Of The Federation Addresses Labor Strike And Low-Key Independence Day Celebration....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In Abuja on Wednesday, Senator George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), expressed his concerns regarding the impending strike announced by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). He emphasized that such a strike, which is set to commence if the government does not respond to their demands, would not serve the best interests of the workers.
During his press interaction at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Senator Akume also disclosed that the 2023 Independence Day anniversary would be observed in a subdued manner, without providing a specific reason for this decision.

He elaborated, “Independence Day is a momentous occasion for any nation, and Nigeria is no exception. We are fully prepared for this year’s celebration, but due to certain obvious circumstances, it will be a more understated affair.”
Senator Akume encouraged Nigerians to use this independence anniversary as an opportunity for deep reflection on the nation’s unity and the path ahead. He assured citizens that better days were ahead for the country under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
Regarding the anticipated labor strike, the SGF expressed optimism that the government would address the issues raised by organized labor through amicable means. He called on labor leaders to exercise patience as the government works towards resolving their demands.
Senator Akume stated, “The labor leaders are patriotic Nigerians, and we believe that nobody desires a strike at this critical juncture in our history, as it is not in the interest of workers or anyone. This government is resolute in improving the living standards of Nigerian workers and fostering prosperity for all. Achieving these goals is not an overnight endeavor, so it would be premature to judge the government based on the few months it has been in office.”
Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, also emphasized the government’s commitment to maintaining a harmonious relationship with labor. He affirmed that discussions with labor leaders would continue, even in the absence of the President, to ensure a smooth and cooperative relationship.
When asked about the likelihood of a strike commencing on September 21, Minister Lalong refrained from offering a definitive answer, emphasizing that it was a matter for the NLC’s president to decide.
