About 28 months after sacking the Ogun State chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Akeem Ambali, the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has reinstated the labour leader.
The National Chairman of the Union, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, disclosed this after an exhaustive meeting between the state government and national leaders of NLC, at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Tuesday.
Ambali and 14 others were sacked by the state government on October 31, 2016, over alleged misconduct during the 2016 World Teachers Day celebration.
The state government set up a panel of inquiry to investigate them for their individual roles during the celebration.
While 15 other labour leaders who were dismissed and suspended were pardoned, Ambali’s case was not revisited.
But briefing newsmen on Tuesday, after meeting with the governor, the NLC President, said that apart from reinstating Ambali, the governor also agreed to resolve all issues raised regarding workers welfare.
He also said that the issues as they affect staff of the Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu -Ijebu, had also been resolved.
