The Nigerian Civil Service Union (NCSU), yesterday continued the picketing of headquarters of the Nigeria Population Commission (NPC). The workers are demanding the removal of its Director General, Ismailla Ghanji Bello. Bello, who was recently reappointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, is facing opposition from the union and the NPC management.According to the NCSU, the director general lacks the capacity to actualise the mission and vision of the NPC. According to the deputy director, none of the 14 directors is allowed to make input at meetings, which attests to the fact that the director general takes decisions alone. “Some innovations would be introduced to make an assessment of the performance of workers more objective and quantifiable.”
