The protests and crisis rocking the Abuja head office of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development took another turn on Wednesday as ministry workers protested against disruption of wo
rk by indebted contractors.
But workers of the ministry, under various unions, came out on Wednesday, displaying placards in protest against the continued picketing of their workplace by aggrieved contractors. Esebanme said the issues of contention were debts and payments, adding that the union was calling on the ministry’s management to expedite action in paying the contractors.
“Dialogue is the solution to the debt owed by the ministry so that the contractors will continue doing business with us without fear and those who have borrowed money will get these monies paid back,” Esebanme said.
