The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige,
has said he was not able to attend the May Day event due to ill health.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on
Media, Nwachukwu Obidiwe, the minister said: "Contrary to uncivilized
attitude and barefaced lies contained in the address of the President of the
Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, I wish to state for the avoidance
of doubt that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Ngige, was absent at today's Worker's Day rally for ill-health reasons."
The statement said the minister has been down with
flu since last Sunday, adding that "he met his doctors last Monday and has
since been at home recuperating."
