By cutting off the national grid during the statewide strike, organised labour allegedly committed treason, according to SGF George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
At a meeting with the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Thursday in Abuja, Akume made this declaration.
“Nowhere in the world has labour ever tampered with the national grid. It is treason. Treasonable felony is economic sabotage; you don’t do that.

“We are trying to rebuild the economy. The president is picking it up, and they want to destroy it. Of what use is that to all of us? That is not the way,” he said.
Speaking on the government’s attempts to lessen the nation’s economic suffering, the SGF promised that Nigerians will soon have access to CNG buses, rice and other necessities as well as compressed natural gas.
“It is not that we are not working. We are working, and that is why we implemented the N35,000 wage, which is more than the minimum wage.
“There are buses ready to be distributed, and soon, rice and other essentials will be available,” he added.

In his view, the government and the church ought to work together to provide the population with infrastructure.
“The church must collaborate with the government in providing facilities for people, whether it is in education, health, or agriculture,” Akume said.
