A community leader, Chief Anthony Agidigbo Oguejiofor has commended the workers, led by the Comrade Peter Okafor of the Trade Union Congress for suspending the industrial action in the State.
Speaking to journalist in Awka, Chief Oguejiofor said his selfless action is worthy of emulation as he took a decision that put collective interest of the State above any other consideration, urging other labour leaders to follow his footsteps.
He charged workers to rededicate themselves and double their efforts as they resume duty on Monday to cover the grounds lost during the strike.
The community leader enjoined politicians who for selfish reasons encouraged and fueled the strike to have a rethink for the interest of the State and reminded labour leaders of the need to live above board to sustain the confidence and trust of their members and the larger society.
Chief Oguejiofor noted that the strike was uncalled for as Governor Peter Obi was one of the first Governor to implement the new minimum wage in August. He expressed confidence that with the cooperation of the workers, the Governor will continue to promote their welfare.
It will be recalled that there has been counter accusation among Anambra labour of collecting money from politicians to embark on a strike that is generally seen as unnecessary.
