Ngige condemns NECA’s reaction to FG’s directive on mass sack in banks

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has condemned the reaction of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Assembly (NECA) as spearheaded by its Director General, Mr Segun Oshinowo,  on the directive to banks to stop staff retrenchment, even as he has said that the Federal Government has invited the banks for dialogue in order to chart the way forward on the issue.

The Deputy Director, Press in the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr Samuel Olowookere,in a press statement said  the minister said he was optimistic  that the dialogue would be fruitful. “We have invited the banks to a dialogue and we hope the dialogue will be fruitful,” Ngige stressed.

Taking a swipe at Oshinowo, over NECA’s opposition to the directive of the Federal Government to banks and other financial institutions to suspend the ongoing retrenchment of workers in the sector pending the outcome of a conciliatory meeting and stakeholders’ summit billed for the first week of July as not only irresponsible and thoughtless but also a bland knee jerk reaction borne out of self-service.

The minister’s position came amid several criticisms over his directive to banks, with many calling such act as arbitrary action beyond permissible boundaries.

According to him, “Any reaction that tends to hamstrung the intervention by government  in any sector  of the economy in the overall interest of all Nigerians, by invoking a sudden rigid stricture to free market rules,  is an overarching absurdity

“If government  has been intervening and shall continue to intervene  to save banks and allied institutions, even the aviation industry, in times of distress without allowing the free market rules to solely reign, therefore forcing some of them to go under, the same government can equally make minimum demands from this private sector in the overall interests of the nation. Our authority in this instance is not only statutory but also moral.

“Therefore, we wish to state clearly once more, that the intention of government rather than being punitive on these financial institutions is to safeguard national interest by staving off unnecessary job losses and hence avert its real and potential threat to the already fragile security situation and stability of the nation.

“Government intention is guided by the fact that there are clear alternatives to the abrasive lay off of thousands of workers especially in the background of non-compliance with laid down rules on redundancy as clearly enunciated in our labour laws.

“The labour unions in the financial sector have brought forward,  very strong evidence that thousands of workers laid off last year in a similar exercise are yet to receive their negotiated benefits.

“May we also add that our directives to the banks are premised on set rules of engagement. That section 20 of the labour act is abundantly clear on redundancy and steps expected of institutions to safeguard not just their interests and that of their employees but also that of government who is the chief guarantor of industrial harmony.”

Ngige further said: “Financial institutions though ‘privately owned’ are not mere private businesses in the manner of an average shop on the street, rather they are institutions whose stake in the stability of the national economy is denominated by their pivotal roles as well as  consequent regulations and oversight by government.

“It is hence unpatriotic and a predetermined sabotage of common good to expect that government will have its hands tied by a mischievous and self serving credo about free market.

“The intention of government is that if the private sector is helmed from expansion and new job creation as a result of downturn in the economy, it can at least hold onto what exists by these institutions making little adjustments in the administrative and other expenditure profile. We have made similar patriotic demands from the petroleum sector (International Oil Corporations) and got positive results.”

He is of the view that there is “nothing therefore inappropriate or untoward about this demand on the financial institutions except as viewed from the prism of those who are still slumbering in the thoughts and imagination, hamstrung by narrowness of thought.”
