Labour Unions in Oyo State say the outcome of last Friday’s meeting with representatives of the State government on their demands will be discussed at the state Congress slated for tomorrow.
State Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Kayode Martins made this known, while featuring on a radio programme in Ibadan.
Comrade Martins said that the negotiation on wage award and other demands which lasted for about six hours on Friday yielded positive results and would meet the workers tomorrow to deliberate on the next line of action.
According to Comrade Martins, NLC, Trade Union Congress, TUC, Joint Negotiation Council JNC and Nigeria Union of Pensioners were committed in putting smiles on faces of Oyo state workers and Pensioners.
Comrade Martins therefore called on the state workers to come enmasse to the NLC secretariat at Agodi, Ibadan, tomorrow.
Also speaking, the Executive Secretary, Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, Oyo state Council, Comrade Olusegun Abatan said Pensioners were not against Governor Makinde led administration.
Comrade Abatan appealed for urgent intervention to the plights of workers and pensioners in the state.
On his part, the Special Adviser to Oyo State Governor Makinde on Labour Matters, Comrade Bayo Titilola-Sodo, condemned activities of some people, who were trying to create confusion between government and labour unions in the state.
Mr Titilola-Sodo, however, called for calm from Oyo State Labour Union leaders and workers, urging them to give Governor Makinde an avenue to implement his workers friendly programmes.
