Nigeria - Organised labour under the aegis of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has condemned alleged plan by the Federal Government to sack 3,500 public workers under the guise that their appointments were irregular and unauthorised.
The Secretary-General of ASCSN, Alade Bashir Lawal, yesterday expressed shock that the Federal Government is planning to send 3,500 employees to the over-saturated labour market at a period when millions of Nigerians are dying of starvation, some committing suicide because of harsh economic condition imposed on them by unfavourable government policies.
