Lagos State Printing Corporation, LSPC, workers,   stormed the State House of Assembly,  to protest the non-payment of their three month salaries and the non-remittance of N28 million of statutory deductions.

The protesters made the accusation against  the Corporation’s General Manager, Bolaji Agaba, when they stormed the state House of Assembly’s premises at about 11a.m.

Speaking to journalists, LSPC Union Chairman, Lukman Rabiu, alleged that the gratuity of the pensioners has not been paid. He said: “We are here for three issues: which are the non-payment of staff salaries; non-remittance of N28 million statutory deduction, and non-payment of seven months gratuity to the pensioners.

“Before he (Agaba) became the GM, the past administration ran the affairs of this corporation properly. But since he became the GM, we have not been collecting the festive season bonus.

“Majority of our staff members are indebted to  some of the banks. Though, we have been trying to maintain peace in the corporation so as not to bring enmity. But he is proving to us that he does not have our interest at heart.

“The culture of the corporation has been to lobby for job, but this GM who is a politician is not ready to do this. Others who have been  GM are always going out to look for jobs, but his own case has been different.

“So our reason for coming here is to appeal to the government to save our soul. If this is allowed to continue, the structure of the printing corporation will definitely collapse.”
