The Federal Government has said that Kaduna and any other state must dialogue with the organised labour as enshrined in the International Labour Organisation Conventions, to which Nigeria is a signatory.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, stated this while presiding over the ongoing meeting between Kaduna State Government and the Nigeria Labour Congress in Abuja on Thursday.
He said though labour has a right to go on strike according to the provisions of the law, it should not obstruct the provision of essential services.
The minister, however, said should he failed to reconcile both NLC and the Kaduna State Government within one week, the matter will be transferred to a higher authority as prescribed by the Trade Unions Dispute Act.

It was a sensational dramatic piece with Mr Freeman Godwin an appointee of Cross River Governor, Ben Ayade who has threatened to commit suicide over non-payment of salary after his appointment.
Freeman, whose designation is not known as at the time of this report is heard in a video made available by Phylo Modlin, screaming “When it is time for work, they will use you and dump you, at the end of the day nothing happens; I will die for this government. I will die in this office.”
The Obudu born man further lamented that he was on his own doing his business, but the government called him to give him an appointment which he had to borrow money to do documentation, yet no payment was forthcoming. He added that his wife was delivered a baby through cesarean section, popularly called CS.
