Staff of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, has shut down the headquarters of the commission over non-payment of 13 point bonus for the year 2016 as well as other welfare allowances.
The Staff yesterday carried placards with inscriptions such as, Governor Okowa pay attention to DESOPADEC Staff Welfare, We need our promotion for the past 8 years, as they chanted solidarity songs and danced through the Esisi office of the commission to its headquarters adjacent to the Nigeria Navy Ship.
Speaking with newsmen, one of the Staff, Comrade Darlington Erhijakpor stated that Staffs of the commission are going through hardship as a result of the non-payment of the 13-point bonus, as well as the non-payment of their salaries and gratuity.
He also warned that the DESOPADEC Head Office will remain shut until Governor Ifeanyi Okowa pays attention to their plights.
Addressing the crowd, DESOPADEC’s Head of Administration & Supply, Pastor Ubogu appealed to the protesters to return to work just as he assured that the 13 point bonus will soon be signed.
