Ahmed urges Kwara tertiary institutions' workers to end strike
The Kwara State Government yesterday urged striking workers of its tertiary institutions to resume work in the interest of indigent parents and guardians.
Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed appealed to the workers of Colleges of Education, Ilorin, Oro and Lafiagi; and the College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies, Ilorin, to end the strike they began yesterday on the order of their union leaders.
He expressed worry over the workers’ plight, promising that his administration wanted an amicable resolution of the industrial dispute.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Wahab Oba, the governor urged the union leaders to return to the negotiation table and allow his administration to resolve the dispute.
Ahmed said no worker would be victimised for participating in the strike, urging the union leaders to open negotiation with the government.
The workers are demanding 100 per cent implementation of the Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Salary Structure (CONPCASS) and the Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTEDISS).
