Workers in Edo State public service Thursday shun leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and resumed work at their duty post. Some faction Labour leaders in the state led by Emmanuel Ademokun only walked through two major streets in protest.
At various offices visited, workers were seen at work. Pupils at public schools were sent away for the second day, an indication that teachers defied the state government order to resume work. Edo State Head of Service, Mrs. Idahor Gladys, had in a press statement said the government would invoke the no work no pay rule for any worker that joined the strike action.
She said the strike action was illegal. Ademokun insisted that the strike continues even though workers were at work and appealed for artisans to join in the protest.
