NAFDAC workers to call-of strike soon
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has assured that the seven days warning strike that commenced on the 15th of April, by its workers will soon be called off.
The Resident Media Consultant of the agency, Sayo Akintola, explained that the Director General of NAFDAC, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, has enjoyed a good work relationship with the union and its members since she assumed office.
She condemned the action of the union leaders preventing senior management staff from gaining access to their offices.
He however expressed the displeasure of the director general that the union went ahead to begin a strike when a meeting was already scheduled with the management of the agency for next week Tuesday.
“Seriously speaking, it’s being resolved and before the expiration of the seven days, the strike would be called off.
“It’s unfortunate that the union had scheduled a meeting with the management for next week Tuesday only to embark on strike on Thursday.
“They should have waited for the outcome of the meeting before going on strike. This is the position of the DG when I spoke to her last night,” Akintola said.
She however urged the affected staff to continue to work from home pending the time the issues would be resolved.
It would be recalled that during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, staff of the agency were working effectively from home while only the senior management staff were physically present in the office.
The Director General assured the agency’s clients that the strike would not affect the operations of NAFDAC in any way as most of its transactions are now automated.
