Nigerian Embassy In Washington Shutdown Over Nonpayment Of 5 Months Salaries by sleemfesh: 8:37am On May 03, 2017
Workers have not been paid in the past 5 months. Imagine the Nonesense. Nigeria sef.


Workers at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington have been on a sit-in, paralysing activities at the mission in the United States.

The workers said they have not been paid salaries for the past five months, forcing them to embark on the strike.

Although some departments of the embassy are said to still be functional, they threatened to report the embassy to the U.S. Labour Department.

There were no official functions at the embassy on Tuesday, as the workers only gathered at the lunch room in the basement.

The embassy in Washington and the consulate in New York are said to be currently cash strapped, with staff and local workers not being paid for months.

A source close to the Presidency said there has been a lot of mismanagement of resources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, causing a lack of concern for staff welfare and difficulty in the missions being able to carry out their functions.

I don't like Buhari or how he runs the government which killed this great country in just 1 year

But i tell you what, this is a fake news

You can see or smell a fake news from 500 miles away

You can't own your employees in the USA, you can't just do that

If an employee has a wages complaint, whether it’s for regular pay, overtime wages, or vacation pay, they have the right to contact their state employment agency. This often results in an investigation by the employment agency/federal agencies, and may lead to a lawsuit against the employer or a loss of a business license.

You know what would happen in that case ?? The Nigerian government would be sued, they might lose their license and they would no longer have a Nigerian embassy in Washington DC

I don't think they want that problem
