Nlc el rufai loggerhead planned workers sack

It appears you're referring to a news article about the planned sack of workers by the Kaduna State Government, led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

To provide more context, the Kaduna State Government had announced plans to sack over 4,000 workers in the state's public service, citing financial constraints and the need to restructure the state's workforce. The planned sack was met with widespread criticism and protests from the affected workers and their unions.

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) had threatened to take industrial action if the government went ahead with the planned sack. However, the government went ahead with the exercise, citing its constitutional powers to manage the state's workforce.

The sacked workers were mainly from the state's ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), as well as local government councils. The government claimed that the exercise was aimed at reducing the state's wage bill and improving its financial sustainability.

The NLC and other labour unions had argued that the sack was unfair and would lead to widespread unemployment and economic hardship in the state. They also claimed that the government had not followed due process in the exercise and had not provided adequate notice to the affected workers.

The controversy surrounding the planned sack of workers in Kaduna State highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the Nigerian government in managing its workforce and addressing the country's economic and financial challenges.
