Ajaokuta Steel Company Loses 10 Worker Due To Lack Of Salaries by xlfemzy(m): 8:00am On May 31, 2010 |
The Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Company has lost 10 workers between March and April, 2010, Abdulkareem Jimoh, Chairman, Iron and Steel Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ISSAN), has said. Mr. Jimoh, who disclosed this in an interview in Ajaokuta on Thursday, said the workers died of complications arising from a lack of money to feed properly and take care of their health. He, therefore, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently pay salary arrears of staff and members of the association. The Federal Government still owes the workers nine months salary arrears after it paid 10 months arrears in 2009. He also urged the Federal Government to release money for the running of the company, saying “we are idle now. Let the government take a good action. The Thermal Power plant is viable enough to generate revenue. ``What we need is the political will and financial enablement. The workers are ready to turn around the story of the company and we shall not fail.’’ Also the Vice-Chairman of the association, Akin Obafunmi, said: “ Our workers are suffering. We lose them almost every day. “ We are planning to get money for the burial of a staff now, yet Festus Osagie from Operation Department died on April 14. “ We appeal to the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development to pay our salary. Our children cannot go to school. “ Many do not have anything to eat. Some live on subsistence farming within the complex. Life is not easy here, ” he said. The workers in Ajaokuta Steel Company said they will, on April 20, protest the non-payment of their nine months salary arrears. He also alleged that the Federal Government with the Interim Management Committee were not transparent in the dealing with the workers. ``The bone of contention now is the salary structure. We were suddenly introduced to a different salary structure without being informed ”. |
