Federal Senior Civil Servants in the country, have threatened to down tools over alleged breach of public service rules and non-implementation of agreements entered into with the management of National Insurance Commission, NAICOM.

 

According to Vanguard, the aggrieved senior workers under the aegis of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, ASCSN, have specifically given a seven-day ultimatum to the NAICOM Commissioner for Insurance to address all their grievances or risk industrial action by their association.

 

In a letter dated June 26, 2019 by the Secretary-General of ASCSN, Isaac Ojemhenke, the association said, “We are constrained to inform you that at a meeting of the ASCSN members which was held in Abuja on the 24th June, 2019, it was unanimously agreed that the Management of the National Insurance Commission should be issued a 7 day ultimatum for it to implement all agreements it had reached with the union and also comply with the provisions of other relevant Public Service Rules on the issues in perspective following which an industrial action will be kick-started in the Commission.

 

“It is necessary to state that ASCSN wishes to be absolved of blames when the strike action commences as a result of the failure of the management to meet the union’s demands within the seven days window opened for it to do the needful.

 

“It is also necessary to inform you that this letter has been endorsed to the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Finance, The Director General, Department of State Security, The Inspector General of Police, Nigeria Police Force and The Chairman Governing Board, National Insurance Commission for their information and necessary action.”
