The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has accused organized labour of committing treason by shutting down the national grid during the nationwide strike.
Akume made the accusation in Abuja at a meeting with the National Executive Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria, stressing that labour has never tampered with the national grid in any part of the world during strike.
The SGF said the actions by the labour unions was an economic sabotage which was obviously a reasonable felony.
Speaking on the government’s efforts to ease the economic hardship in the country, Akume assured that Compressed Natural Gas buses, rice, and other essentials would soon be available to Nigerians to cushion the effects of the situation.
