Abuja Continental Hotel Cancels TUC Meeting Over Legal Dispute

The Management of Abuja Continental Hotel, represented by Cluster Director, Human Resources ‘Niyi Agoro, stated that it cannot proceed with a meeting scheduled for October 12 called by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) due to the matter being sub judice before the National Industrial Court of Nigeria. Agoro referenced Paragraph 3 of the court's enrolled Order, which restrains all parties from taking actions that could jeopardize the suit.

The hotel expressed its commitment to the welfare and rights of its employees, denying any claims of being anti-labor. It reiterated that there is no policy against staff exercising their right to freedom of association and that it has not victimized any employee based on union affiliation.

The hotel described itself as a law-abiding entity that respects the Constitution and labor laws. Following disruptions on August 24, the hotel had agreed to engage in dialogue, but the matter subsequently became sub judice, leading to the current situation.
