The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the sack of 5,000 local government workers by the Kaduna State Government. In a statement on Thursday in Abuja, President of NLC, Mr Ayuba Wabba, said the action of the state government was illegal.

In a statement by Femi Adeshina the Preident's media aide, 'this fictive concoction being passed off as truth is mind boggling, coming from a former Number Two man of Nigeria, who should know the truth.
