The Rivers State Organised Labour are threatening to embark on strategic union actions that may disrupt national economic activities if their demands are not met within a reasonable timeframe.

The threat comes on the heels of the recent declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, which the labour union, in a statement yesterday, condemned the suspension of the Executive Governor, Deputy Governor, and House of Assembly members, describing the declaration as “premature and baseless.”

The State Organized Labour, also highlighted the impact of the state of emergency on local government workers, who are yet to receive their salaries and are exposed to avoidable economic hardship.

The labour union however, appealed to the President, National Assembly, and Judiciary to urgently reverse the premature state of emergency and the suspension of elected officials and also advised the federal government to engage in genuine dialogue to prevent further escalation of the issues in Rivers State.
