The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has given the management of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) a seven-day ultimatum to address its four-point demand regarding workers’ welfare and the alleged victimisation of labour leaders.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos on Monday, NASU general secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, warned that failure to meet their demands would result in a nationwide shutdown of all WAEC offices starting Monday, March 24.
“If the management does not take immediate action, all WAEC offices across the country will be shut down indefinitely,” Adeyemi declared.
The union insisted that Its grievances must be urgently addressed to protect the rights and well-being of its members. (The Nation)
