LAGOS (Sundiata Post) – Few weeks after a protest rally, workers of the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos State, are still seen carrying out their official duties under trees.
The workers, under the aegis of Joint Union Congress, had on March 20, held a rally to protest alleged poor working conditions, including reporting for work under trees at the National Theatre Complex, Iganmu.
The congress is made up of the Amalgamated Union of Public, Civil, Technical, Recreational Employees, and Radio, Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union.
The workers had called on the Federal Government to return them back to their offices, following completion of renovation of the edifice.
The Lagos State Secretary of AUPCTRE -Federal Organ – Mr Omotola Babatunde, on Tuesday in Lagos state that all attempts by the workers to reach an agreement with the National Theatre management proved abortive.
Babatunde said: “We are waiting for the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to give the management a 14-day ultimatum.
“NLC meeting is still ongoing. We are waiting, expecting a feedback.” (NAN)
