The ongoing indefinite strike embarked on by The Joint Union Congress of Police Service Commission has been suspended.
The Three weeks strike which commenced on the 29th of August, due to what they called a deliberate act of making the staff redundant in carrying out their constitutional duties.
In his explanation, The chairman of the union, Adoyi Adoyi, said that the call-off is to allow the new management to look into its demands.
The union added that other reasons for the strike are to show how discontent the PSC is being run by the then chairman of the Commission, Musiliu Smith.
As far as the union is concerned “some of our demands are a poor condition of service, complicity with the police authorities to rid off staff members constitutional duties, bad working conditions among others”.
On Wednesday, a former chairman of the Commission and a retired Inspector General of Police (IGP), Musiliu Smith, formally resigned his appointment on health grounds. He was tentatively replaced by retired Justice Clara Ogunbiyi pending a substantive appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
