Following allegations of breach of agreement by the management of the agency, workers of the Police Service Commission (PSC) have declared an indefinite strike.
In a notice issued by the Joint Union Congress of the commision on Thursday in Abuja, the union noted that the strike will commence with effect from Monday, August 29, 2022.
Comrade Adoyi said, “We’re embarking on an indefinite strike from Monday, August 29, to show how discontent with the way the PSC is being run by the chairman of the commission, and the flagrant disregard for the constitution, the court of law, and the PSC by the IGO, Usman Baba.
“The duties of the PSC are spelled out in the constitution, but the IGP has disregarded all of that, and has taken over the duties of the commission.
” He appoints and promotes at will as opposed to what is stated in the constitution.
“According to the constitution, the appointment, promotion, and recruitment of police officers and constables are the prerogative of the PSC, not the IGP”, the statement added.
