NIMC Staff Begin 2-Day Warning Strike Over Poor Working Condition

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC)’s staff below
grade level 12 have begun a 2-day warning strike Thursday.

The warning strike was embarked upon to demand safety measures
for the NIMC staff against COVID-19 and also to demand for new
salary structure, the chairman of Association of Senior Civil
Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) NIMC unit, Asekokhai Lucky Michael and
the unit’s secretary, Odia Victor said.

“Subsequent upon the last just concluded Congress of the above
mentioned association that held 6th January, 2021.

“The Unit Executive hereby directs all members of Grade Level 12
and below in the Head Office and all states offices to report to
their respective duty post tomorrow (today) 7th January, 2021 and
do nothing”, a communique signed by Michael and Victor said.

The association also advised all members in the local government
offices and special centres to stay away from the various centres
as the association task force and implementation committee would be
on ground to ensure compliance.

Daily Trust reports that the Federal Government directive to
telecom operators to link their subscribers with National Identity
Numbers (NINs) may suffer a setback because of the warning
strike.
