The Minister of Labour and Employment (State), Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, on Friday, ordered the immediate shutdown of the Metal Manufacturing Company, Gbara, in Sagamu Local Government for exposing its workers to dangerous health hazards.
The Minister who paid an unscheduled visit to the factory, said she took the action after receiving several petitions against the unhealthy practices of the company which is into battery manufacturing.
She added that after repeated warnings from the Occupational Safety and Health Department of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the company still failed to provide protective gears for the workers.
