Staff of the national agency for food and drug administration and control, NAFDAC, have embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike over failure of the management to meet up with their demands.
recall that the staff had issued a 14-day ultimatum to management of the agency, to address their demands which include a review and re-evaluation of the 2024 promotion examination results, which currently show a pass rate of only 35 percent, a minimum benchmark of 80 percent for this years and future promotion exams, as well as the settlement of salary arrears for employees hired in 2022.
according to a statement signed by the association’s secretary, Ejor Michael, the senior staff association of statutory corporations and government-owned companies instructed the striking workers to withdraw all services and vacate their offices.
this is as the union accused NAFDAC management of neglecting their grievances, labelling the inaction as intolerable.
