BREAKING: Police seal ASCSN national secretariat over worker’s protest
The Lagos secretariat was shut down by the police on Monday.
To protest inefficiency and ongoing union plundering by union leaders, members of ASCSN occupied the national secretariat of the union in Yaba, Lagos.
Following protests by union members over charges of corruption against certain top officials, the secretariat was shut down, according to our correspondent who is watching the situation at the secretariat.
According to information obtained by DAILY POST, the union has been involved in a number of crises due to allegations of N10b fraud against some of its top leaders.
Our correspondent reports that some angry members of the union on Monday occupied the secretariat.
This resulted in the sealing of the secretariat on Monday.
The national secretariat is still under lock at the time of filing this report on Monday.
A former ASCSN Chairman in Oyo State, Andrew Emelieze who spoke with DAILY POST added that the protesters are not happy with what is happening in the union.
He said, “The protesters are not happy that the union has abandoned its responsibility to only continue to loot workers check up dues as seen in the police probe of the former secretary general of the union Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal and many other union officials who had become emergency multimillionaires.
“The protesters have promised to continue the protest until all bad eggs are flushed out of the union and the eventual prosecution of all the looters in the union”.
