A mild drama played out on Monday as civil servants at the Federal
Ministry of Finance shut down the headquarters of the Ministry in the
Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
The workers alleged that since the assumption of office of the
Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, things had gone completely bad.
Describing the Ministry as being in a state of poor welfare, the
workers in their hundreds expressed disappointment over the non-payment
of the entitlements due to them.
They locked all the entrances to the ministry and prevented vehicles
and other visitors from gaining access to the premises, insisting that
except their demands were met, they would not stop the protest.
The workers displayed placards bearing: “Things have not been going on well in the Ministry.
“We demand to know what is going on in the Ministry.
“Overtime, we have not been paid our entitlements, allowances, training and other welfare packages.
“A lot of people in this ministry are not happy because of poor staff welfare condition.”
