Igwe Achese, President of NUPENG who read the communique said, “NUPENG will take all necessary action to drive home its demands if FG failed to act in 21 days.
We are 100% in support against anti-corruption, but there must be respite for Nigerians.
“Right now, our members and even those in other sectors are no longer able to pay school fees for their children and even afford rents. Worse still, those being sacked now are so treated without commitment to proper terminal benefits.”
