Council,FEC, meeting presided by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Federal Government also said that
henceforth the doctrine of no work no pay which was contained in the nation’s
law would be invoked for workers embarking on strike. In a joint media briefing
after the FEC, the Minister of Health Prof. Isaac Adewole and Minister of
Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige noted that most of the unions that
recently embarked on strike contravened the labour laws especially the Trade
Dispute Act. The ministers further disclosed that a committee had been set up
for comprehensive evaluation of job done by workers especially in the public
sector.
