The Kaduna State Governor in a tweet on Tuesday placed an undisclosed reward for information on their whereabout.

“Anyone that knows where he is hiding should send a message to @MOJKaduna. KDSG. There will be a handsome reward.”

The union boss had on Monday called the action a ‘no retreat, no surrender’.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria said that the ongoing industrial action has resulted in the interruption of bulk electricity supply within the state.
Aviation workers in the state also backed the Nigeria Labour Congress to protest the decision of the state government to layoff thousand of its workers.
El- Rufai on Monday amidst the action maintained its government stance on laying of workers over low revenue inflow from the monthly Federal Account Allocation Committee shared to states.
