The Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission , Tony Ojukwu has asked the staff of the commission in the 36 states to ignore the strike action declared by the Nigeria Civil Service Union, saying it is dead on arrival.
Ojukwu insisted that there was no tension over the issue of minimum wage in the commission as being speculated. He said this in a statement by the commission's Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Fatimah Agwai, in Abuja. He said,"The commission uses this medium to call on its visitors and staff across the country to be wary of malicious information from misguided forces that could prevent them from carrying out their duties as human rights defenders.
"The commission urges its staff to desist from being used by the union guided by a person who led the commission for five years but could not even approve their draft conditions of service document. Staff welfare was never his priority." Ojukwu said the union had planned to stop the commission from carrying out its statutory mandate of promoting and protecting human rights several times.
