Lagos Decides: INEC ad-hoc staff protest in collation centres
The collation centres are located at St. Michael Nursery and Primary School, Costain Road, Ojo, and Local Authority Primary School, Iba, both in Lagos State.
As at 9.30 a.m, the ad-hoc staff were seen chanting. “No Pay, No Work’’ at the collation centres, refusing to go and resume duty at the polling units in the area. One of the ad-hoc staff who pleaded anonymity told the News Agency of Nigeria that they will not resume duty until they get their allowances.
“We will not go to work if we do not receive our money here and now. They promised to pay us for the Presidential Election held on Feb. 13 immediately after the elections, but some of us got paid only yesterday March 8. “The N10,000 allowance for the governorship election was supposed to be paid yesterday, but till now nothing.An Electoral Observer at the collation centre, Mr Davis Faleye, decried the poor organisation by the Commission.“INEC should have paid them their money so they can render their services to the government and for the election because I feel that their rights should not be undermined.“I have called the commission and reported the situation, but nothing has been done,’’ Faleye said.
