.
The union revealed that the reason for the strike is to compel the government implement agreed welfare package entered in 2013.
It also demanded the immediate retirement of the agency’s acting Director General, Mrs Yetunde Oni, stressing that Oni should hand over to the immediate senior officer before the appointment of a substantive director-general.
.
Speaking on the matter, Mr Idu Isua, the Vice Chairman of the union said the union signed an agreement with the management and the Minister of Health to review its welfare package in 2013 but the demands were yet to be met.
.
According to him, the Minister of Health and NAFDAC management, along with Wages and Salary, agreed to review members pay upward after they embarked on strike to press home their demand in 2013.
.
He said “we resolved that funds be drawn from our Internally Generated Revenue to finance the upward reviewed package of staff but to our greatest surprise, nothing was done since then.
.
“When we came on board as union in 2013, we took a look at the allowances of staff and discovered it was low compared with other agencies that we enjoy same salary scale with.”
.
Isua said the union complained to Ministry of Health and took it up with management “but up till today, nothing has been done.”
.
The union vice chairman said “the strike was not a fresh one because we took same action two years ago and last year and based on agreement reached, the strike was suspended.
.
“However, nothing was done on our salary review up till now.”
.
Isua also said that Mrs Oni, who had been acting as director-general of the agency was due for retirement on Sept. 21, having attained 60 years of age “but was currently not in the country.”
.
The civil service rule stated that whoever stays in service for either 60 years of age or 35 years in service must retire.
.
“She was 60 years yesterday (Sept. 21, 2017); she must go; these are our grievances.”
.
Mrs Oni and the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole are yet to address the issues raised by the union.
