Why Osifo emerged TUC President, by Okon

• Festus Osifo

The election of Festus Osifo will ensure the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has a formidable voice not just within the trade union movement, but when government is taking decisive steps on economic matters such as oil and gas sector, President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Dr. Tommy Okon has said.      Okon insisted that the TUC did not make a mistake to pick its president from the fold of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN), saying the labour centre is convinced Osifo understands the terrain.     “It is a welcome development because TUC will now have a formidable voice. Not just within the socio-economic space, but have a very deep voice because the oil and gas sector is the economic mainstay of the country. We now have a president who is from that sector, which presupposes that the TUC president understands the nitty-gritty and operational dynamics of the sector. That will help to put to rest some of the developmental issues, especially in the sector that was not hitherto known to the public,” he said.     While Okon agreed that robotics and technological advancement in the work arena is becoming more pronounced, he insisted that human intervention would continually be required to drive production.       His words: “Computers and robots will not operate themselves. The human element will continue to be relevant even if the labour force is fully automated. Labour cannot be used and dumped. There is no waste when it comes to labour. Other factors of production such as money, land and equipment might not be relevant at some points, but labour will forever be needed.”     On the threat posed to production and employability of the economy, Okon urged the Federal Government to seek foreign help to restore normalcy to the country.      He added: “If the government is borrowing money to improve the economy, why would the government not borrow manpower to improve security? The argument that we are a sovereign nation and can therefore not bring war contractors does not make sense at all. The only way Nigeria can surmount insecurity is to seek help of experts that are littered all around the world. Our Police and other security outfits have all been compromised. Are some of their unprofessional conducts not on social media?”     Okon maintained that the Nigerian security apparatus is compromised going by what transpired at the Kuje prison invasion by terrorists.

Festus Osifo Of PENGASSAN Emerges President Of TUC

ABUJA – Mr. Festus Osifo has been elected as the new President General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria TUC.

His emergence will see him presiding over the affairs of the labour centre for the next three years.

Osifo emerged the preferred candidate at the 12th Triennial National Delegates’ Conference of the Congress which held in Abuja on Tuesday.

He doubles as the National President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria PENGASSAN.

Announcing the results, the returning officer, Shehu Mohammed said that a total of 728 delegates participated in the election with Osifo pulling 688 votes to defeat his opponent, Oyikan Olasanoye who polled 18 votes while twenty-two votes were declared invalid.

Osifo who assumed office as President of PENGASSAN in August 28, 2020 had previously served amongst others, as PENGASSAN Producers Forum Chairman, between 2016 to 2018.

The new TUC President is a member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE), Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria (COREN) and Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

In his acceptance speech, Mr Osifo vowed to fight for the welfare of the masses as well as the protection of the interest of every Nigerian worker.

He lauded the past leaders of the Congress for laying “a solid foundation on which the body thrives and vowed to sustain the vision”.

The new President also promised to carry everyone along in his quest for a greater TUC while also pledging to “initiate a platform to placate all aggrieved comrades.”

At the opening ceremony of the conference, The TUC was urged to do all it can to ensure that election does not divide the unity of workers.

The call was made by the pioneer President of the TUC Dr Peace Obiajulu while addressing the Delegates.

She said that organised labour must come together to use their numerical strength to redirect the cause of the working class in Nigeria in particular and by extension the down trodden in the country.

In his address, the immediate past President General of the TUC, Quadri Olaleye, called on the Federal Government to review salary and retirement age of all core civil servants in the country.

The former President said that the salary review was necessary to narrow the gap between civil servants emoluments and those in other segments of the public service.

“The Federal Government during negotiation at the last new National Minimum Wage promised to review but has reneged.

“We are calling on the Federal Government to direct the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation to step action in that regards.

“Similarly, what is good for the geese is also good for the gander is an age-long dictum that is still as relevant as it was centuries ago.

“The President, Mohammadu Buhari during the 2020 World Teachers Day increased the retirement age of teachers from 60 to 65 years and also reviewed upward their length of service from 35 to 40 years. We covert such gesture,” he said.

He also expressed worry over the huge number of states that were still owing pensions, salaries and allowances in arrears after collecting refunds, bailout funds, budget support fund and the Paris debt refund.

Olaleye described, the claim by the governors that they had no money to pay, whereas they had money to pay their predecessors and also fund their own interests as a “reckless lifestyle”.

“We condemned it and demand that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission(ICPC) investigate and bring the governors to book.

“It is our thought that paying retirees their entitlement will assist to curb corruption because when people know that they will get their entitlements when they retire, it will check to steal.

“For those of them withholding the contributory pension deductions from workers’ salaries without remitting same to their Pension Fund Administration (PFAs), we warn that it is illegal and attracts some penalties”, he said.

The former President also spoke on other burning national issues like the state of the nation’s economy, the oil and gas sector, and better welfare packages for workers among others.

The theme of the conference was “The Working Class Amidst The Challenges of National security, Unemployment and Democratic Development.”

Innocent Oweh, holds Higher National Diploma(HND) in Mass Communication from Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State. He has been a practicing journalist for almost two decades, transending various beats like Education,Labour, Information,SGF and currently the Presidency. A committed staff of Independent Newspapers Limited(INL) since 2008, he is married with children.

The theme of the 2022 Conference: “The Working Class Amidst the Challenges of National Security, Unemployment and Democratic Development’’.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Osifo is expected to pilot the affairs of the labour trade centre for the next three years.

He is also the National President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN).

Mr Shehu Mohammed , the returning officer while announcing the results said that a total of 728 delegates participated in the election.

Mohammed said that Osifo pulled 688 votes to defeat his opponent, Mrs Oyikan Olasanoye who polled 18 votes, while 22 votes were declared invalid.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that due to internal disputes Wednesday’s election was held for only the office of the President General.

It would be also recalled that Osifo assumed office as President of PENGASSAN in August 28, 2020 and had also served amongst others, as PENGASSAN Producers Forum Chairman, between 2016 and 2018.

The new TUC President is a member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE), Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria (COREN) and Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

In his acceptance speech, Osifo vowed to fight for the welfare of the masses as well as the protection of the interest of every Nigerian worker.

He commanded the past leaders of the Congress for laying “a solid foundation on which the body thrives and vowed to sustain the vision.

Osifo also promised to carry everyone along in his quest for a greater TUC while also pledging to “initiate a platform to placate all aggrieved comrades.

Earlier, Mr Quadri Olaleye, former TUC President in a goodbye note commended all members for their support, while calling on the incumbent to ensure peace for the union to move forward.

According to him, I want to seize this opportunity to remind that election in the trade union movement is not a-do-or-die.

“There is never a loser, always remember that we are comrades, and that an injury to one is injury to all,” he said.

Also speaking, Dr Peace Obiajulu, the Pioneer President of the TUC called on members of the Labour centre to ensure that election does not divide the unity of workers.

She said that organised labour must come together to use their numerical strength to redirect the cause of the working class in Nigeria in particular and by extension the down trodden in the country.

NAN also reports that some aggrieved affiliates of TUC had earlier written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), to stop the scheduled TUC Delegate Conference from holding.

The affiliates also further obtained a court order to stop the conference from holding over failure to implement the agreement entered into in the last conference on which affiliate will produce the next president of the labour center.

The affiliates include the Petroleum and Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASAN), Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI), among others.
