WorldStage Newsonline– The combined staff union of Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Finance has ruled out the possibility of strike in the unit after its general congress at the Ministry’s main Auditorium on Wednesday.
A statement signed by Patricia Deworitshe, Deputy Director (Press) for the Ministry said what took place today in the Ministry was a normal staff congress, where staff gathered to discuss sundry issues, not a riot as alleged by some quarters.
The statement said many key Directors in the Ministry including Director, Human Resources (DHR) and Director, General Services (DGS), attended the staff congress and clarified issues raised by the staff.
“The staff of the Ministry were not on strike, the gate of the Ministry and offices in the Ministry were not locked as alleged by some of the journalists. The monthly FAAC Meeting that held today confirms that the Ministry was not shut down,” the statement said.
“The issues raised and discussed in the meeting are regular internal issues of the Ministry and should be allowed to remain that way.
It said the congress never accused the Minister of finance and the Permanent Secretary of the issues alleged by some journalists.
