NLC Blasts FG Over Withheld Osun LG Funds, Supports Striking Workers
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has denounced the Federal Government's decision to withhold funds allocated to local government councils in Osun State, asserting that the government is not above the law. The labour union also expressed solidarity with the striking local government workers in their pursuit of the release of the funds.
In a statement signed by its Acting General Secretary, Benson Upah, the NLC stated that the continuous withholding of the funds has negatively impacted local government administration and affected the provision of services to residents. The labor body accused the government of selectively obeying court decisions, asserting that government authorities cannot choose which court orders to comply with.
The NLC commended the striking Osun local government workers for maintaining decorum in their protest and urged them to continue with peaceful conduct of their industrial action.
The NLC's statement reads:
- "We express solidarity with the striking workers of Osun State Local Government Councils. We commend the workers for conducting themselves with utmost decorum in the pursuit of their legitimate demands. We urge them to sustain this peaceful approach."
- "The Federal Government's decision to withhold funds allocated to local government councils in Osun State is unjustifiable. The Federal Government is not above the law."
- "The continuous withholding of the funds has negatively impacted local government administration and affected the provision of services to residents."
- "The Federal Government's selective obedience to court decisions is unacceptable. Authorities cannot choose which court orders to obey."
