Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) has condemned recent appointment at the Nigeria Metrological Agency (NIMET), saying they undermine professionalism in the agency.
The union is demanding a reversal of the appointments made by the Minister of State, Aviation, saying it will not fold its hands and watch strange individuals be impose on the agency.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary, Yusuf Lekke Zambuk, the union said failure of the government to reverse the appointments may result in a breakdown of the existing industrial harmony in the agency.
He said the appointment of non- career professionals into key technical and scientific directorate positions in the agency is bound to hinder productivity, professionalism and also demoralise eligible career professionals for their rightful positions within the agency.
The union, however, calls on the Federal Government as a matter of urgency, to reverse the appointment.
Zambuk said letters had been written to the Office of the Acting President of the Federation, the Minister of State for Aviation, and the Minister of Labour and Employment in on the matter, but no response had been received.
