Dialogue With Labour - Hon. Segun Olulade

Dialogue With Labour - Hon. Segun Olulade

In response to the strike threat by various groups, Mr. Segun Olulade, a Lagos lawmaker has urged the organised labour to dialogue with the Federal Government instead of shutting down the whole country.

Olulade, who is the Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Health, gave this crucial advice in a statement.

He suggests a round table dialogue with the Federal Government instead of putting Nigerians through further suffering.

This is his statement: 

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) should dialogue with the government rather than marching innocent workers out for a protest that can earn them no tangible outcome.

I share the pains of Nigerians and labour force, but there is nothing reasonably viable than to deregulate the sector.

This will save Nigerians the incessant and persistent agony of accessing petroleum products which are God- given resources to the Nigerian masses.

 Among all the oil exporting countries, Nigeria is the only country that still lives in the euphoria of oil sector regulation and as such, denying the nation of economic benefits accruable from the sector.

From availability of the products to job creation and to huge oil sales revenue, the hardship is temporary and I am sure Nigerians will smile in no distant future.

He commends Nigerian for their cooperation, adding that the masses deserved nothing but the best.

The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had, however, asked the government to revert to the old price to avert workers’ strike.
