FG, labour talks collapse, NLC begins strike Aug 14

Image
Barely 24 hours after meeting with President Bola Tinubu where an agreement was reached to call off their protests, the rapprochement between the organised labour and the Federal Government appeared to have collapsed as the unions on Thursday night vowed to embark on a nationwide strike from August 14 if their leaders were summoned for contempt of court orders.  The Nigeria Labour Congress hinged its decision on the contempt of court application filed by the Federal Ministry of Justice against the labour leaders on Wednesday. It threatened to down tools should the Federal Government fails to withdraw the lawsuit accusing the labour leadership of disobeying court orders. The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, announced the decision on Thursday night after the union’s National Executive Council meeting which was held in Abuja. In a bid to avert a strike by the labour movement last month, the FG had through the Federal Ministry of Justice secured an order from the National Industr...

Image
 Superstar footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated his belief that Ralf Rangnick can do a good job at Old Trafford but insisted that the Manchester United interim boss needs more time. The German tactician was employed by the Red Devils until the end of the season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked following a run of humiliating losses in November. But Ragnick, 63, admitted he fears he does not have the time or influence to solve the club’s troubles before his job as interim manager ends in May.  Rangnick faces a toxic atmosphere at Old the club with morale low as up to half the squad want to leave the club with some on expiring contracts and the dressing room divided into cliques,  leaving United seventh in the Premier League. But Ronaldo who joined the club in the summer, believes the interim boss can turn the situation around but he needs more time to get his ideas across to the players.  'Since he arrived five weeks ago he changed many things,' Ronaldo told S...
