The Bipartite Committee constituted to resolve the dispute between the Kaduna State Government and the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, recommended that the State Government should pay the disengaged staff of the Local Government, State Universal Basic Education Board SUBEB and the Primary Health Care Board and all those not paid, should be paid appropriate benefits.
The recommendation was contained in the interim report submitted by the Chairman of the Committee and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Peter Tarfa to Minister, Chris Ngige at the Ministry in Abuja.
Presenting the report, Tarfa said the Committee also recommended that the Staff of Kaduna State Development Company who were disengaged between 2017 and 2020 should be paid their appropriate benefits.
According to him, there is also need for consultation between the Government and Labour in line with the prescription of the Labour Act and other relevant Labour statutes.
Receiving the interim report of the 10-man Bipartite Committee, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige said the dispute could have been worse if not for the intervention of the Federal Government.
