The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has alleged that six of its members working with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) died within a very short period due to poor staff welfare and treatment of staff at the commission.
In a letter titled; “Perceived refusal to address poor staff welfare in the commission," ASCSN, said it "noticed with dismay the continuous death of staff members over manageable ailments but poor welfare will not encourage them to seek medical attention in good time.”
In a letter jointly signed by the Chairman, ASCSN NIMC Unit, Comrade Lucky Adekokhai and its Secretary, Comrade Odia Victor, the unionists named the six late staff as Ogbogu Steve from the head office; Rufus Ajoyemi Oluwole from Ondo State
office; Ekenze Udeorji from Anambra State office; Adamu Solami from Kano State office; Joshua Eton Jema from Adamawa State; and Mamuda Aliyu a driver from Sokoto State.
The union said, "On behalf of the staff of NIMC, we would like to know the true position of things with respect to: Implementation of Paramilitary Salary Scale, payment of the allowances that was removed upon joining IPPIS, payment of the first 28 days being owed staff that had been recruited since 2013 and payment of hazard allowances."
The workers also demanded to know the management’s latest plan towards addressing sundry issues raised by the union, particularly in the above listed. "Note that if by the end of June, nothing significant is done, the union will have no option but to employ other available tools within its power to ensure that the above listed issues get the needed attention," it said.
