Organised Labour has decried theworsening security situation in Nigeria and called on the Federal Government tooverhaul the nation’s security system.
The National Union of Textiles,Garments and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria General Secretary Issa Aremu, saidthat workers such as journalists, farmers and herders were being killed,mindlessly. He cited the killing of Precious Owolabi, a Youth Corps member thatserved with Channels Television, as example.
The Labour Leader, who stated thatinsecurity had wider negative impacts on human capital development ifunchecked, also argued that, while significant progress had been made to trainhuman resources in a number of educational institutions, Nigeria was depletingits skilled hands through violent conflicts.
Aremu said that the Nigerian Unionof Teachers, NUT had also lost hundreds of teachers and school officials toincessant killings and abductions by bandits in Zamfara state and other partsof the North.
