The National body noted that a more committed and productive workforce is only possible where a government takes the issues of workers welfare seriously and frowned at inhuman treated meted out on workers in the state describing it as unacceptable while calling on the state government to not only sign the agreements to workers welfare but ensure prompt implementation while extending hands of fellowship to the state government.


Earlier, the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu maintained that Abia remains a woker friendly state and would never take workers welfare for granted as it is committed to ensuring the best for them.


Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem, the governor said his administration is taking steps to resolve all the crisis as it is resolute to implement all agreements reached.


He assured workers in Abia that government takes their welfare seriously and would continue to do so while urging them to keep hope alive and thanked the Nigeria Labour Congress for showing understanding and assured that government would live up to her expectations and urged them to keep fate with government.


Commissioner for Information, Barr. Eze Chikamnayo and his Finance counterpart, Dr. Aham Ukoh, and the Head of Service, Mr. Onyi Wamah were part of the meeting.


The labour in the state has been on strike for three days.
