Some workers in the federal ministry
of finance, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja today, June 20, barricaded the
main gate of the federal ministry of finance. The workers who were in their
hundreds, were protesting against the minister of finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun
over what they said is her constant maltreatment of workers in the ministry.
The workers were chanting songs and also carried placards with various
inscriptions accusing the minister of negligence. Some of the placards read:
“Inflation is 15% courtesy of Adeosun”; “Adeosun score card is zero”; “You are
destroying Federal Ministry of Finance” and “Kemi Adeosun must go” among
others.
Some of the workers who spoke to Newsmen
under the condition of anonymity, accused the minister of not paying their
allowances even as they claimed she has been collecting her own allowances.
Some others said the minister was disrespectful and had no regards for civil
servants. See photos from the protest below:
