BREAKING: Don’t Threaten Me – Wike Fumes Over Workers’ Action
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has fired a warning at some workers.
News ToGo reports that Wike reprimanded resident doctors in Abuja against threatening to embark on industrial action. He stated that he would not pay doctors who embark on strike while he’s a minister, adding that he’s ready to contend with them in court.
Addressing resident doctors, Wike said he would make more money when they embark on industrial action.
“Make your recommendations, and we will see the ones we can do and those we can’t do. Don’t threaten me with a strike because I don’t like it. When you go on strike, I save money; even if you come back, I won’t pay; we will determine it in court.
“It’s not about promises but the reality on ground, I don’t believe in theory,” Wike said.
Lately, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has intermittently engaged in industrial actions, citing the Federal Government’s failure to fulfill their demands.
Among the doctors’ requests are the prompt disbursement of the 2023 Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF), substantial progress on the “upward adjustment” of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS), and settlement of all outstanding salary arrears dating back to 2015 for its members.
Additionally, the doctors are advocating for immediate substantial recruitment of clinical staff in hospitals and the removal of bureaucratic obstacles hindering the swift replacement of departing doctors and nurses within the system.
They are also urging the urgent reassessment of hazard allowances by all state governments, as well as private tertiary health institutions where any form of residency training takes place.
A video surfaced online, capturing the awe-inspiring feat of Estonian man Jaan Roose walking on a rope across the bridge and train tracks at CMS Bus Stop in Lagos state on Thursday morning.
News ToGo gathered that the footage quickly went viral, leaving a majority of netizens astonished, expressing concern for his safety and questioning his motives.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s media aide, Jibril Gawat, later clarified that the project was a collaborative effort between the Red Bull team and the Lagos State Government through the Lagos Safety Commission. The initiative aimed to showcase the beauty of Lagos State and promote a unique form of entertainment.
Jaan Roose, an Estonian slack liner and Guinness World Record holder, undertook the breathtaking display. Slacklining, described as a sport that encompasses balance training, recreation, and a moving meditation, takes participants on a thrilling journey of focus and equilibrium.
The daring act in Lagos left spectators amazed and provided a moment of exhilarating entertainment.

Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has landed a new deal.
News ToGo reports that the singer who is known for his energetic style of music and dance has been making waves in the entertainment industry. However, despite being involved in some controversies, especially on social media, he has carved a niche for himself which has continued to attract opportunities for him.
Portable recently landed a deal with a sports betting company, LuckyBet, which is one of the top players in the industry. The affiliation will see him and the company team up to provide both fun-filled musical entertainment as well as the chance to make more money for their numerous fans out there.
After sealing the deal, the popular artiste stated that he was happy to be a part of the company, promising to create a memorable experience that would delight both his fans and that of the betting firm. Speaking on behalf of the company, Nneka Nnaji stated that the choice of Portable was strategic as it stemmed from mutual vision by both parties to uplift the sports betting through music and entertainment aimed at offering fans more value.
Portable is a top singer in the Nigerian music industry who has crooned many hit songs such as ZaZoo Zehh among others.
NLC has spoken on agreement with FG to call off its proposed nationwide strike.
News ToGo reports that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) said it has no agreement with the Federal Government to call off the planned indefinite strike scheduled for October 3.
Mr. Benson Upah, the Head of Information and Public Affairs at the NLC disclosed this in a statement.
Upah spoke in response to a statement allegedly issued by Mr. Olajide Oshundun, the Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Labour and Employment. He pointed out inconsistencies in the statement, including references to the proposed strike and the illegal occupation of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) secretariat.
The NLC emphasized that there was no agreement with the government to suspend the planned strike. It added that there was also no scheduled meeting with the government to discuss its suspension. The union clarified that this matter goes beyond the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
While acknowledging the role played by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Mr. Simon Lalong, in securing the release of NURTW executives from unlawful police detention, the NLC took exception to the ministry describing these executives as “factional leaders,” asserting that they were lawfully elected.
It urged the police and those responsible for the executives’ troubles to cease their conduct. NLC added that they should refrain from impunity, emphasizing the importance of upholding democracy and the rule of law.
