Nigeria’s popular Civil Rights activist and former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani has commended Kaduna state workers for finally embarking on industrial action.

Shehu Sani said the strike was an appropriate step by the workers given that the mass sack of workers by the State governor a few months ago has a negative effect on workers and Kaduna residents.

In a statement he signed and made available to journalist, he maintained that bandits live in better conditions than Kaduna workers, urging Governor Nasir El-Rufai to reverse the mass sack without delay.

He lamented the situation workers found themselves which he said; they have been turned into destitute and walking corpses.

It will be recalled that Kaduna State workers on Monday commenced a warning strike which is being championed by the leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress amid threats by the State government to arrest NLC president Ayuba Waba.
