Protesting staff of the
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), on Thursday, shut down the
headquarters of the agency in Abuja.
The employees also embarked
on a nationwide indefinite strike over the non-payment of their allowances,
among other issues.
The employees who called
for the immediate sack of the Director General, Mustapha Maihaja, accused him
of failing to implement earlier resolutions brokered by the Minister of Labour,
Dr. Chris Ngige.
The directive to proceed on
strike was issued by the Trade Union Congress and the Association of Senior
Civil Servants of Nigeria in Abuja.
The letter, it was
gathered, was written by the Secretary-General, ASCSN, Isaac Ojenmhenike, and
was addressed to the President, Senate President, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and other senior government officials.
