The national secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has constituted a four-man caretaker committee, headed by the state’s chairperson of the Women Commission, Comrade Ngodoo Toryem, to conduct its re-scheduled election on May 21.
This followed the aborted election of members of the State Administrative Committee scheduled for April 23 at the Aminu Isah Kontagora Theatre Complex in Makurdi, the state capital.
A letter on the directive reads: “Consequently, it has become necessary to set up a caretaker committee, principally to handle preparations for the rescheduled election, which is now fixed for May 21. In this regard, it is my pleasure to request you to serve as the chairperson of the Caretaker Committee.
“Other members of the committee are: a representative each from NURTW, NUP and NUJ.”
The letter, signed by the General Secretary, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, directed the committee to liaise with the unions and make necessary arrangements for the rescheduled election.
