SHARE

The Nigerian Federal Government has dragged the Organized Labour to court over the commencement of its nationwide protest on Wednesday.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the President Bola Tinubu-led government particularly filed a contempt proceeding against the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for defying an order restraining the unions from embarking on industrial action.

The government filed the “notice of consequences of disobedience to order of the court”, also called “form 48” before the National Industrial court in Abuja on Wednesday.

Members of the NLC, TUC and other bodies had kick-started a nationwide protest following the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum on August 3.

The protest followed the government’s refusal to reverse all “anti-poor” and “insensitive” policies.

According to Labour, the The policies include the recent hike in the price of petrol, and the sudden increase in public school fees, among others.

However, the federal government said the union is restrained by an order of the national industrial court from embarking on any industrial action or strike regarding the removal of the petrol subsidy.

Although Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, defended the union, arguing that the strike action did not translate into contempt of court and that peaceful protests were within its fundamental rights.

But Beatrice Jedy-Agba, solicitor-general of the federation, said the planned strike and the protests could not be termed as peaceful as they were intended to “ground the government by endangering public peace, instilling fear in the masses”.

She said the subject matter which is the major cause of the action is subjudice and parties in the suit are expected to maintain the status quo until the hearing and determination of the suit.

Ruling on an ex-parte motion filed by the federal government, Olufunke Anuwe, the presiding judge, granted an order restraining the NLC and TUC from embarking on any planned industrial action or strike pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by the federal government.
