Kebbi State branch of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has thrown its weight behind the statement made by its National President, Comrade Audu Titus Amba, in Kebbi State during the just-concluded Nigeria Workers’ Rights Summit held recently in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
The NUT chairman, Kebbi State, Comrade Sarki Zaki (Sk) in a statement signed by him on Saturday, described the statement made by the National Chairman as bold, courageous, and timely, saying the president statement at the summit on the struggle for Nigeria workers rights and an uncompromising stand on the upward review of the current national minimum truly reflects the views and stands of Nigerian workers.
Zaki added that the National President’s bold statement before the gathering of stakeholders in the labour industry indicated his resolve to pursue all the rights of workers vigorously, fearlessly and holistically.
“We are pleased with his presence at the summit, and we are one hundred percent behind his stand for workers’ rights and their push for upward review of the National Minimum Wage alongside the National President of Nigeria labour congress NLC”.
The teachers’ body commended the NUT General Secretary, Dr Clinton Ikpitibo, for participating in the just-concluded Nigeria Rights of Workers, amplifying the same struggle for decent work conditions for workers and a push for a new National Minimum Wage across the country and at all levels.
Comrade Zaki urged all unions in the country to rally behind NUT and NLC to demand good working conditions for Nigerian workers and a living wage that reflects current reality in the country.
Comrade Titus Amba had, during the Nigeria workers rights summit in Kebbi State, at the podium demanded review of minimum wage and decent work conditions for all categories of workers with a passionate call to governments at all levels to ensure the implementations of the upward review of new National minimum wage being pushed by NLC and NUT he spoke as the representative of NLC National president Joe Ajero at the summit.
