KILL this CORRUPTION before this CORRUPTION KILLS YOU!!!!!! Cheating in its height at the National Identity Management Commission
The management of the National Identity Management Commission has deployed what can be referred to as modern slavery against her workforce.
The rules are nothing but mere letters and are not followed at all in this commission which has brought about agitation that the corruption in this administration is beyond what the nation has ever seen.
Firstly, the issue of salary at this commission needs urgent attention of the government, staff does not have any stable salary and the salary is always reducing in spite of promotion of staff. The recent case is the case of around 30% reduction in staff salary despite promotion which made staff receives far lesser salaries to what they were earning even before promotion. Also, there is irregularity in the take home of staff on same grade level, some staff on same Grade Level who were in fact employed the same day receive different salaries with around N11,000 difference.
Another is the issue of promotion, promotion in this commission is based on who you know and not on whether you are qualified and due for it. The recently concluded promotion was quite unfair and beyond what any reasonable explanation can justify. Staff who have spent well over 3 years on their previous posts were not promoted while staff who merely joined the commission in less than 3 years got double promotion as against the public service rules.
For over 12 months now, the enrolment centers of the commission have not been funded and there are always memo requesting that enrolment figures should be doubled. This has resulted in staff using their personal monies to fund the office or resorting to applicants for financial assistance.
The working conditions in the offices are poor and hazardous to health yet no hazard allowance or any allowance at all is received by staff. For over 4 years now, Pension and housing fund has been deducted from staff salaries but not remitted to the appropriate agencies. Also, staff are being owed 28 days allowance, promotion arrears and nothing has been said about it despite the commitment of this present government to payment of those allowances. In all of these, staff are constantly doing their bits as enrolment figures roll in every day. The management on the other hand are far from doing their part as they have failed to provide the motivation and the necessary tool needed for the smooth running of the organization. They have even failed the public by not producing their Identity Cards as at when due.
There is need for the public to know about this so that there will be intervention from the appropriate quarters.
The height of Injustice from the management to staff in the National Identity Management Commission ( Nimc) is an issue that requires national attention, it is do pathetic that n things are fast falling apart n sooner than later the centre may no longer hold.
ReplyDeleteThe management treat the staff like one bunch of nonentities without hope or future, dreams nor aspirations, to make matters worse the staff are treated as though they fell off the sky without responsibilities, emotions or dignity.
This a federal establishment that is been managed like a private firm, imagine where staff are not sure of their take home every month, one can receive 20k this month n the only thing that staff is sure of is that they are going to receive less the following month, there are many abnormalities on Nimc, ranging from none payment of 28days, none remittance of dedicated pension fund, none payment of alliances what so ever,none funding of the enrollment centres n several unprintable issues.
This is an SOS call to the Nigerian government, the constituted authorities n the general public to come to the aid of all Nimc staff before some group of heartless persons mortgage or destroy the future of these young minds in the commission because these modern day slavery is leaving adverse effects on them n people are gradually the essence n self esteem.
Enough is enough.
You can only imagine someone joined the commission on grade level 8/2 earning 87,000 naira in 2014 and after promotion to rase level 10 the salary is now 55,000 naira. Who can help explain this in any word other than corruption.
DeleteYou will also imagine someone having worked for over 4 years with monthly pension deductions yet has no remittance to his PFA, when he resigns, what does he fall back to..... please explain this in another word without using the word corruption.
