NLC tussle: Uzodimma fires Labour Commissioner, Ozumba
Amidst the face-off between the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Imo State Government, the State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, on Saturday, sacked the Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, Ford Ozumba.
This is contained in a statement signed and made available to journalists by the Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba.
The removal, TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered, is with immediate effect.
The governor is said to have directed Ozumba to hand over all necessary documents to the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Labour and Productivity immediately.
No reason was given for the sack but some sources say it may not be unconnected with the ongoing impasse between the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) led by Joe Ajaero and the Imo State Government.
