The unions disclosed their plans at the weekend in Lagos, claiming that the management of NCAA has taken them for granted with regards to the issues of promotion of NCAA staff.
Speaking on the issue, Chairman Joint Action Committee, NCAA and chairman NUATE, NCAA branch, Lucky Izebhokun made it clear that NCAA management would be looking for trouble if they do not promote the staff of NCAA by the end of this year.
Izebhokun who hinted that the anxiety is so high while a lot of people have been highly discouraged in the system, said that there is the possibility that the aggrieved workers would pour out their mind on January 2, 2019.
Izebhokun said “now the Management has so much relegated the staff of NCAA so much so that they will be employing, doing secondment and transfer of people from other organizations to come and boss us, we have had issues with people being transferred from NAMA especially, because there is no promotion in NCAA, you will see now bossing the people in NCAA, we have told Management that we can no longer accept that”.
“We wrote them, we have to do due diligence, we wrote them and told that within the next three weeks if you do not give our people promotion, we are talking about promotion from level 14 to 15 and 16 that is senior management cadre, if you don’t promote them there will be serious issues”, the union leader added.
He said if the union fails to curtail this excesses for this senior cadre, it will start spiraling down to the lower cadre, and time may come when they will be no vacancy for levels 12, 13,.
On his own part, Chairman ATSSSAN NCAA branch, Ayodele Sofolayan, confirmed that the issue of staff promotion in NCAA is already generating a lot of anxiety and that the issue has been delayed for long.
Sofola said “we have been on this issue for the past one year and we have not seen any good result, we have given the Management of NCAA ultimatum to either get this promotion done or we declare a state of emergency”.
“How do we go about this state of emergency? We have discussed with a lot of people but what we are going to do now, we have to force Management to conduct promotion exam without the Organogram, that’s what we will do, we will force the Managemnt of the NCAA to conduct the promotion exercise without waiting for the Organogram because the Organogram is long over due, so we cannot be waiting because Ministry can write letter for some other things but the one that concerns us here they cannot write letter, so if Ministry want to give somebody acting promotion, the letter will come quick but when it comes with the issues of promotion letter, the letters are not forth- coming, so what is the issue?
I have asked the management, we have asked the Ministry, what is the issue, we need to know the issue, why are the letters not coming out, so we want to know”., Sofola said.
