Union cautions govt on planned sack of civil servants

The Association of Senior Civil?Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN)?has cautioned the Federal Government over its plan to sack ?28,000 civil servants, saying it could worsen the economic situation in the country.

Warning of the consequences of the planned mass retrenchment, the Secretary General, Comrade Solomon Onaghinon, told The Nation in a telephone chat that should the ?government go ahead with the planned sack, it would have untoward economic consequences.

He said it is the duty of the government to create jobs for people and wondered how government would raise money to pay pensions and gratuity of the affected workers.

?If the government sacks 28,000, how would they provide funds for pensions and gratuities?? he asked.?

On employment guidelines, he advised the Federal Government to strictly follow public service recruitment guidelines to avoid employing unproductive workers.?

He urged the government to put proper machinery in motion to ensure that applicants meet basic requirements before employment into the civil service. ?If the basic requirements are adhered to before employment into the civil service, there would not be cases of unproductive workers.??

He said the government should review its policy on recruitment to avoid the employment of unproductive workers.
