Workers of the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) under the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria
(MHWUN) yesterday embarked on a nationwide strike.
But the
Director-General of NAFDAC, Dr Paul Orhii, has threatened to ‘cure the
cause of the strike’ by stopping all training programmes for NAFDAC
workers as such claims to unpaid allowances emanate from travels for
trainings.
Declaring an indefinite strike at the premises of the agency in Lagos, the State Chairman, MHWUN, Stephen Ibe directed workers to immediately vacate the premises of the agency.
To this end, all NAFDAC offices at the seaports, land ports, airports have been shut indefinitely.
He said “All other offices of NAFDAC remain closed. It is not a warning strike. It is not JOHESU (strike). Workers can only resume when their 2012 and 2013 salary arrears are paid.
