Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA has called for an end to the use of strikes as a means of expressing grievances against the government.

The Vice President said this when he represented, President BOLA TINUBU, at the 24th combined convocation of the University of Maiduguri, Borno State.

According to him, it is no longer fashionable to insist on confrontation as a tool for demanding improved welfare conditions.

He maintained that incessant strikes are very detrimental to the system and so the option for dialogue must remain paramount in resolving any issue or crisis.

He added that the Federal Government is always ready to dialogue with unions in the country to resolve labour issues.
