Industrial peace in Delta State is facing a fresh threat as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued Governor Sheriff Oborevwori a two-week ultimatum to end the alleged harassment, intimidation and detention of members of the Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN).
NLC accused some top government officials, particularly the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), of undermining the union’s legal status in favour of a rival association, Commercial Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association (COMTOA).
The Congress, through its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, warned that failure to resolve the dispute within the stipulated period could trigger an industrial crisis, declaring that it might no longer guarantee industrial harmony in the state.
As of the time of filing this report, text and WhatsApp messages sent to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) seeking his reaction to the allegations had yet to receive a response.
