The Chairman of Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Cross River State, Mr. Monday Ogbodum, has said that among the issues that led to the ongoing strike by labour was that the government owed N50billion gratuity.<\/p>\n

Ogbodum, who said this as the strike entered the fourth week, noting that the issue of gratuity in the state was pathetic.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cGovernor Ben Ayade assumed power in 2015. He inherited arrears from 2013 and paid gratuity from June 2013 to February 2014. Since then, nothing has been paid. The outstanding debt is about N50 billion and over.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been a deadlock in negotiation with the government in the course of the ongoing strike, as Labour representatives staged a walkout vowing only to return when they are meeting the governor.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the state Traditional Rulers Council, HRM Dr. Etim Okon Edet, has appealed to the governor to meet with Labour leaders and place the state\u2019s financial predicaments before them.<\/p>\n

The Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joint Public Negotiating Council (JNC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) called out members on strike on October 12.<\/p>\n

Among others, they are protesting non-implementation of the full 27.5 per cent teachers\u2019 enhancement allowance, non-implementation of promotions, non-remittance of deductions from banks, non-implementation of minimum wage, among others.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
