Uduaghan appeals Labour Leaders

Delta – Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has appealed for workers to back their leaders and their ability to represent them in engagements in government.

He made the call while addressing members of National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Delta State chapter who paid him a solidarity visit following the appointment of their former President, Comrade Olumami Oyibo, as Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission in the state.

According to him, workers should always have confidence in their leadership, observing that the union leaders faced a lot of challenges in the act of representing their members.

He specifically stated that the President of NULGE in the state, David Ofoeyeno, always employed dialogue in negotiating with government on the welfare of council workers.

“Always cooperate with your leaders, cooperate with your President. It is not easy. He is always pushing your case more than you know of especially now that there are financial challenges facing the local governments,” he said.

He assured workers of his administration’s commitment to ensure a good work relationship with them.

Ofoeyeno accompanied by members of the union from different local government areas of the state, commended Uduaghan for ensuring a workers’ friendly government.

The Nigerian military has reportedly raised alarm over new tactics being employed by the Boko Haram sect.

The terrorists are now said to be recruiting children to fight and are also using women as human shields.

This was contained in a statement released by PRNigeria, an independent media outfit. It reads:

Nigerian troops are concerned about the use of women as human shields as well as children as child-soldiers by Boko Haram militants in their quest to weaken military operations.

A top security source in the North-East disclosed that the terrorists recruit, rape and kill some of the young captives who are reluctant to join them in their dastardly acts.

In most cases, children and teenagers are forced to be in the forefront in the battle against the Nigerian troops through ambushing and s*****e bombing. There are established cases of women and children getting involved in terrorists’ acts like recent bombing in schools.

On several occasions the Nigerian military has captured small children who were forced to take up arms against the state with some of them behaving abnormal due to indoctrination and inducement through the use of hard drugs.

The security source said “we are being cautious in abiding by the rules of engagement even when we are aware that the militants recruit children for spying on us and pushing them to engage in hostilities against innocent citizens and the troops.

“Most of the children, especially teenagers were recruited through abduction, kidnapping and enticement with money after which they undergo brainwashing and combat training. Those that are unwilling to cooperate are punished or summarily executed.”

Reliable sources suggested that insurgents have relied on the knowledge that Nigerian troops have a responsibility to observe strict rules of engagement and also avoid a situation whereby patriotic citizens caught in the middle of conflict will lose their lives.

“We have lost our men in the battlefield while we tried to avoid shooting children and teenagers who are forced to confront us. How do you expect us to arrest a child with a gun? Do we accord such an armed under-age combatant with the status of a child deserving of protection under the rule of engagement?

“It may become inevitable that some collateral damages may be recorded if we get the order especially because Boko Haram elements were using civilians as human shields to continue to gain undue advantages in the current battle in the North East.

“However, much as troops are determined to avoid collateral damage, it has become inevitable to be decisive with armed underage combatants and female s*****e bombers with the situation degenerating by the day.

“The military will no longer tolerate a situation where insurgents use human shield to gain undue advantage especially now that majority of Nigerians have demanded that a full scale war be declared by government in response to Boko Haram,” the source declared.

A spate of s*****e attacks carried out by female s*****e bombers in Northern Nigeria sparked concerns that Boko Haram might have started using the abducted Chibok girls to carry out its heinous crimes.

The over 200 girls were kidnapped from their school in Chibok, Borno State on April 14.
