The Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has refuted allegations by its national secretariat implicating the Edo State Government in the raid of the labour house in the state. Acting State Chairman, Bernard Egwekhide, and Acting State Secretary, Kingsley Ireotoi, issued this rebuttal in a statement on Monday. The statement emphasized that claims of police officers storming the labour house were entirely baseless. “This is to deny the claim by the NLC national secretariat that the Edo State Government forcefully broke into and ransacked the Edo State Labour House. “Instead, the police officers seen in a video shared by the former chairman, Comrade Odion Olaye, were stationed at the premises upon the request of the congress leadership to safeguard the building and its properties. “There is a long-standing cordial relationship between the Edo State Government and the various labour unions, including the NLC. Recently, there was a meeting between the state government and labour representatives aimed at addressing irregularities in the minimum wage (administrative wage) implemented by the previous administration. “Furthermore, the Edo State Government has never engaged in any acts of vandalism or intimidation against labour unions or their properties. We believe such allegations are intended to tarnish the image of the state government and sow unnecessary discord between the government and the labour unions," the statement read. The state council went on to challenge the national secretariat to prove its allegations if otherwise.
