SENATE leader, Chief Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN, yesterday advised the Federal Government to always keep any agreement entered into with labour unions to save the country from sufferings and hardships occasioned by incessant strikes.
.
The Senate leader, who gave the advice while reacting to the strike embarked upon by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, as well as Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, told industrial unions to find a better way of resolving problems with government.
.
NUPENG had suspended its services on Monday in a three-day warning strike to demand for rights for workers in major oil companies, higher pay from their employers as well as repair of dilapidated roads the union members use in moving fuel products. ASUU downed tools over alleged inability of the Federal Government to keep to the 2009 agreement it entered into with the latter.
