The Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has cautioned the general public to be wary of any unauthorized person or group masquerading as the acting Chairman or leadership of the Edo State Council of the NLC.
The Edo State NLC insisted yesterday that the legitimate leadership of the Edo Council of the NLC is the Prof. Igbafen-led Caretaker Committee, which was legally constituted by the National Central Working Committee (CWC) of the NLC.
In a statement in Benin City by Prof. Monday Lewis Igbafen, the chairman, Caretaker Committee of the Edo Council of the NLC, he maintained that the clarification had become necessary in order not to allow a continuation of deceit aimed at misinforming and misguiding the public about the true position of the leadership of the NLC in the State.
According to Prof. Igbafen, the Bernard Egwakhide-led State Administrative Council (SAC) of the NLC in the State had since been dissolved by the CWC, specifically on the 13th of August 2025, for unethical behaviour, anti-union activities, and gross violations of the Constitution and rules of the congress.
The Caretaker Committee chairman of the Edo Council of the NLC, insisted that the only legitimate authority empowered to speak on behalf of workers in the state is the Igbafen-led Caretaker Committee as recognized by the Central Working Committee of NLC.
The statement urged the general public to disregard any information or press release that does not have the approval of the Caretaker Committee.
The Edo NLC Caretaker Committee reiterated its commitment to the speedy resolution of the crisis in the Edo NLC and called for the cooperation of all stakeholders.
