  Leaders of the North Central zone under the auspices of the North Central Renaissance Movement, NCRM, Tuesday, called on the two major political parties, The All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to zone their 2023 Presidential tickets to the zone in the interest of fairness and justice. The group stated this at a world press conference which held in Abuja, yesterday, saying time has come for other geo-political zones to rally behind the North Central to produce the next President of Nigeria. In his opening remarks, chairman of the group, Dr. Nghargbu K’tso said the zone will not accept the national chairmanship of any political party, stressing that nothing short of the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is good enough for the North Central in 2023.

  Dr Onoho’Omhen Ebhohinhen, Head, Research Department of the Nigeria Labour Congress says the congress is working on the review of labour laws in Nigeria. Ebhohinhen disclosed this on Tuesday in a chat with newsmen at a media roundtable and strategy design on civil space for the Power of Voices Partnership Project in Calabar on Tuesday. He said that the review was to ensure that the labour laws were in conformity with the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Ebhohinhen said that the current labour laws had become obsolete and needed to be reviewed to align them with modern realities and to update them to ILO level. “Some of these laws were made during the colonial era and some during past military regimes. “You can agree with me that most of the Nigerian labour laws have become archaic. “There have been so many developments in the country that have not been captured,’’ he said.
