By Workers of the Police Service Commission under the aegis of the Joint Union Congress have declared an indefinite strike over a breach of agreement by the management.
The strike notice was contained in a letter signed by the JUC Chairman, Adoyi Adoyi and other union leaders which was addressed to the PSC Chairman, Musiliu Smith.
According to the letter, the strike is billed to commence on Monday, August 29, 2022.
It reads, “You may wish to recall that the Joint Union Congress of the Police Service Commission had embarked on a 3-day warning strike on Monday 24 January, 2022, which was suspended in national interest in order to embrace dialogue and reconciliation.
“As a responsible union, we make bold to state that all the conditions necessary for continuous working harmony have been breached by the management, hence our resort to continue with our agitation until our earlier agreements are fully implemented.
“Following from the above therefore, the union and the entire staff do hereby serve a notice of indefinite strike to the Management, beginning on Monday, 29 August 2022.”
This development comes amid the disagreement betwen the PSC Chairman, Musiliu Smith, and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, over the recruitment of police constables.
