News: Massive Sack - Imo State Gov't Fires 1,400 LG Workers - NULGE

Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE's) - One thousand and four hundred Local Governments workers in Imo State were sacked last week, according to the state’s chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees.
 
The chairman, Mr Ndubuisi Uchehara, while confirming the sack on Thursday in Owerri, declared, however, that the union would not confront the state government over it.
 
He said, “As a responsible union, we only act when the rights of legitimate worker are infringed upon.

"When you are an absentee worker, labour cannot protect you when you are visited with the right punishment.

"When you reside in Abuja and draw monthly salaries from a local government in Imo, such persons are not worth NULGE’s time and efforts.
