The ASCSN’s Secretary-General, Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal, who gave the threat in a statement in Lagos, regretted that the Federal Government had continued to condone and encourage lawlessness of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) management in spite of reports submitted to it on the happenings in the organisation.
The union expressed regrets that the NIMC Director-General, Barrister Chris Onyemenam had continued to flout court processes in respect of his unpopular decision to sack more than one thousand senior employees for no just cause.
It said: “The directive by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity that parties should maintain status quo pending the determination of the trade dispute on the matter and that of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation that he must subject himself to the court process at the Federal Court of Appeal, Abuja, by staying action on the planned sack have been treated with contempt.”
