Workers, on Thursday, grounded activities at the headquarters of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) over alleged poor staff welfare and institutional failures.
The Chairman of the NIPC’s workers’ union, Comrade Yusuf Mustapha, demanded immediate sack of the commission’s executive secretary, Ms Yewande Sadiku, to save the agency from collapse.

“Every civil attempt on our part has been met with a lack of decorum, dishonesty, and total disregard on the part of the executive secretary and her team.
“It is on record avenues of civil negotiations and reconciliations have been exhausted by the Union Exco.
“The NIPC, in its 20 years of existence, has never been so broken, demoralised and polarised,” Mustapha said.
The commission, saddled with the responsibility of investment promotion, ramping up foreign and domestic investments across the country and supporting new investors, is at the moment closed for business due to the industrial action.
Daily Trust is still monitoring the development.
