News Investigators/ Workers of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, (NAFDAC), have embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike.
The industrial action Monday commenced Monday following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the agency’s management.
This is coming after a meeting convened on Friday, October 4, 2024 over unresolved issues.
The staff’s demands include a review and re-evaluation of the 2024 promotion examination results, which currently show a pass rate of only 35 percent.
The union is also advocating for a minimum benchmark of 80 percent for this year’s and future promotion exams.
Another significant demand is the settlement of salary arrears for employees hired in 2022.
