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.
