The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is currently picketing the headquarters of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The protest which started as early as 8:00am Wednesday morning, saw the premises of the Commission blocked, preventing workers from gaining entry into the building.
President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba who led the protest alleged that the Commission’s Registrar General, Garba Abubakar stalled staff promotion and brought in environmental experts to fumigate the agency for N35million in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, including contracting someone to paint the Zone 5 annex office for N25million.
Among other allegations raised by NLC was that the Registrar transferred married women who are staff out of the Commission.
As at the time of filing this brief report, vehicular movement was stalled and workers that were to resume as early as 8:00am were stranded outside the building.
