An indefinite strike is looming according to the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria over the non-payment of their N200bn promotion, salaries and death benefits.
The decision to embark on strike if the payment is not effected soon was taken at the National Executive Council of the ASCSN in Abuja on Wednesday.
The decision of the NEC of the ASCSN was read to journalists by the Federal Capital Territory Secretary of the association, Mr. Ojemhenka Isaac.
He said the money approved by the National Assembly to pay the arrears was diverted to pay contractors for unknown projects.
The President of the ASCSN, Mr. Bala Kaigama, who also doubles as the President of the Trade Union Congress, told journalists after the meeting that the ASCSN, an affiliate Union of the TUC, would collaborate with the NLC to carry out the planned industrial action.
