The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria’s (ASCSN) National Secretariat has been cordoned off.
The Lagos secretariat was shut down by the police on Monday.
To protest inefficiency and ongoing union plundering by union leaders, members of ASCSN occupied the national secretariat of the union in Yaba, Lagos.
While observing the scene at the secretariat, news reporters report that the secretariat was shut down as a result of union members’ demonstrations over claims of corruption against some senior employees.

He said, “The protesters are not happy that the union has abandoned its responsibility to only continue to loot workers check up dues as seen in the police probe of the former secretary general of the union Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal and many other union officials who had become emergency multimillionaires.
“The protesters have promised to continue the protest until all bad eggs are flushed out of the union and the eventual prosecution of all the looters in the union”.
