Abdullahi Sule, the Nasarawa State governor, on Tuesday
intervened in Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) to proffer
lasting solutions to their lingering crisis over nonpayment of
salary and alleged illegal deduction.
The governor’s intervention followed a courtesy visit by Comrade
Ayuba Wamba, National Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC), to the governor at Government House, Lafia, the state
capital.
comrade Jimoh Musa, the state chairman of JUSUN, who addressed
journalists shortly after a meeting with the governor, explained
that Sule said he would end the JUSUN crisis for peace to rein in
the state.
According to Jimoh, “The problem started during the past
administration. When the new Emir was selected, he had a meeting
with the management of the High Court over these issues, which he
asked us to write apology letter. We did, but yet the problem has
not been addressed.
“Our national chairman came down to Lafia over the same issues;
asked us to write the same apology. But all failed until today that
NLC national chairman and the governor intervened for the same
issues.”
On the crisis in Nasarawa State NLC, Comrade Musa said Comrade
Yusuf Iya, was the substantive chairman of NLC in the state, having
polled several number of votes to defeat the incumbent chairman,
Abdullahi Adeka, during the delegates conference.
According to jimoh, who respond on behalf of Comrade Yusuf Iya,
said Abdullahi Adeka, the former NLC chairman, lost an election
that was conducted on April, wondering why he was still parading
himself as the chairman having lost at the election at the state’s
delegates conference.
