PHOTOS: NLC pickets mines ministry over ‘20-year-old unlawful sack’ of worker

Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Thursday picketed the office of the federal ministry of mines and steel development in Abuja.

The unionists shut down the ministry for allegedly failing to obey the judgment of the court that ordered the reinstatement of Victor Ekpaha, a worker at the ministry.

Ekpaha was said to have been “unlawfully sacked over 20 years ago”.

The unionists carried placards and banners to the ministry office to protest the non-compliance of the court judgment.

The workers called on the ministry to fully pay Ekpaha his remuneration for a period of 20 years.
