The concept of patriotism is totally lost on us. You go on strike for not getting promoted, and when promotion comes its another excuse to down tools.
The truth is this government (with Nigeria) will cave if we don't support it.

what's the point in promoting people without corresponding financial benefits? The workers are only asking for what's theirs by right.

Na only python dance them sabi

Ghen ghen.. Many associations don replace thunder dis year. Govt of promise and fail and blame d past govt

no be this government owe them, na the past one.

some people have become very 'confused' all in their bid to hail PMB & rubbish GEJ.

they accuse GEJ of not doing anything but stealing.

yet when PMB's mess is pointed out & juxtaposed against GEJ, they ask if PMB had the funds that GEJ had...


the issue now is this, if they say PMB can't perform as well as GEJ because he has less funds, doesn't it mean that GEJ actually performed better than what his haters want others to believe?

besides, if GEJ stole that much, it means he achieved more than PMB while actually spending less funds...

Another GEJ failure which he created for subsequent administrations.

when you get married only to discover that you're impotent, you can still blame GEJ for not giving you the right supplements to make you to able to impregnate your wife.

What manner of operation will the government use in dealing with striking unions? Operation flying squirrel? Tiger claw? What?

Civil servants shelve strike as FG pays arrears

The Association of Civil Servants of Nigeria, an affiliate of the Trade Union Congress, has shelved its planned strike following the commencement of payment of salary arrears on Tuesday by the Federal Government.

The association had issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to settle outstanding payments to federal officers or risk a three-day nationwide strike.

The strike was scheduled to commence on September 18 in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies throughout the country.

Sources in ASCSN told The PUNCH that the Federal Government had commenced the payment of the outstanding arrears and allowances.

The association however warned that if the payment process was scuttled, the strike would begin without further notice.

ASCSN also enjoined its members in the MDAs to remain calm as the union was closely monitoring the situation.

ASCSN, in a statement by its National President, Bobboi Kaigama; and Secretary-General, Alade Lawal, said the strike “had to be put on hold since the Federal Government had started paying the affected officers their outstanding entitlements.”

The statement partly read partly, “Some MDAs where affected workers have started to receive payment since Monday include Energy Commission of Nigeria, Federal Character Commission, Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, National Boundary Commission, National Library of Nigeria and the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

“As a responsible trade union, we have to suspend the strike since payment has started and we commend the government for kick-starting the process. We wish to advise the government to ensure that payment must continue until all federal officers receive their full entitlements.”

Lawal had urged prominent citizens, royal fathers, religious leaders and other stakeholders to prevail on the Federal Government to pay the debt owed federal officers and not to wait for the strike.

While regretting that for more than two years, the Federal Government had promised to pay federal officers their outstanding entitlements but failed to do so, the union had warned that the patience of the workers had been exhausted on the matter. Lawal stressed that if not for the trade union skills employed by the leadership of the ASCSN, the entire federal public service would have been paralysed by strike.

He recalled that the ASCSN wrote several letters to the Presidency to settle the debts owed federal officers but the government treated it with unseriousness.

“Although the Federal Government had issued two different circulars directing the MDAs to compile the names of their members of staff that were affected which they did; yet, no payment was made,” he said.
