The death of 37 illegal miners in cloudy circumstances in Niger State has once again exposed the incompetence and poor conduct of relevant authorities in the execution of their briefs.
President Bola Tinubu has ordered a full and transparent investigation into the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners who died while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Minna, Niger State.
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has faulted the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for rejecting the Federal Government’s proposed N70,000 monthly transport support for workers, insisting that the union was not part of the negotiations that produced the agreement.
