The meeting was scheduled for 3pm.

 

Both members of JUSUN and PASAN who were seated at 3pm stage a walked out after waiting for almost 2hours without been attended to.

 

Speaking with newsmen, JUSUN national Public Relations Officer, Comrade Koin Selepreye said it was wrong for the minister to keep the workers for that long , when the invitation sent to them clearly started that the meeting was for 3pm.

 

She said the union would always aveil her for meetings , but won’t take it when the fix for the meeting is not respected.

 

Also speaking, the National President of PASAN, Comrade Mohammed Usman barrated the minister for what he described as unfair treatment melted on the workers.

 

He said the workers respect time and won’t accept been kept for a meeting which should be taken seriously considering the important of the issues astake.

 

Despite effort by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Dr. Peter Yerima Yarfa and the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Niger Affairs, Ita Enang to prevail on the unions to return for the meeting meet a bricks wall as the they entered their cars and left.

 

At the meeting were the representative of NBA, inspector general of Police, NJIC, and head legal team of the Nigerian Governor Forum.

 


However, the Minister of labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has explained that the meeting with the combined  unions of Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria( JUSUN) and the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria( PASAN) has been postponed to enable the Federal Government negotiating team harmonize all issues from the Memorandum of Understanding reached at separate meetings  with tiers and arms of government.

 

Addressing the press in his office,  the Minister said this was necessary to ensure that the meeting with the unions come with a Memorandum of Action which is implementable with time lines.

 

“ There is no point rushing to do a meeting that will be fruitless. The Judiciary, the Governors Forum and even the Presidency are involved in this negotiation because the meeting held yesterday was at the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President .

 

“The arising documents are not yet properly harmonized. It will therefore not be fruitful to hold a negotiation where people speak from irreconcilable positions.  It won’t help us and it won’t help the unions  either.

According to Ngige, “ the reason is to ensure that the agreement reached at the end of our meeting here is put into action , with timelines for implementation. So if we don’t have a paper that is ready to go,  then there will be no point for the talk shop.

 

The Minister explained that the members of the unions were in a hurry even as they were properly informed of the little time needed  for him to round off a meeting with the government team, comprising the Solicitor General of the Federation,  Mr. Dayo Apata, the Director General of the Governors Forum, Asishana Bayo Okauru  and the Senior Special Assistant  to the President, Senator Ita Enang .

He said the meeting will continue at a date to be  announced soon. “  It is better done properly so that the Governors can implement whatever agreement we enter into  . The governors hold the  ace because they hold the sovereign in their respective states, even though they are sub-nationals but they run the government of those states.

 

He added that the Federal Government believed in autonomy but utmost patriotism and tact have to be exercised to sift the issues in contention.

“Today , fund management committees have been proposed and  there is also executive Order 10. This means there is problem and we must be very careful not to create more problems than  what we are out to solve.”
