Due to a breach of an agreement, the Joint Union Congress of the Police Service Commission has sent the commission’s management a notice of an upcoming indefinite strike.
The strike, according to the union, will start on Monday, August 29, 2022.
In a chat with our correspondent on Thursday, Mr. Adoyi Adoyi, the chairman of the Joint Service Union, PSC chapter, revealed this.
The notice is being issued amid a dispute over who should be in charge of hiring, promoting, and appointing police officers and constables between commission employees, the commission’s chairman, Mr. Musiliu Smith, and the inspector general of police, Usman Baba.
He stated that the PSC’s constitutional role had been overridden by the IGP and other police chiefs acting in collusion with the PSC chairman.
Adoyi continued by alleging that the IGP has taken it upon himself to carry out PSC duties in flagrant violation of the Nigerian constitution, an Appeal Court ruling, and the PSC’s authorities.
Adoyi declared, “We’re starting an indefinite strike on Monday, August 29, to express our displeasure with the way the PSC is being handled by the commission’s chairman and the IGO Usman Baba’s flagrant disdain for the law, the constitution, and the PSC.
The PSC’s responsibilities are outlined in the constitution, but the IGP has ignored everything and taken over the commission’s responsibilities. In contrast to what is written in the constitution, he promotes and appoints people at his discretion.
The PSC, not the IGP, has the authority to appoint, promote, and hire police officers and constables, according to the constitution.
