The NIMC officials began a strike action over the fear of COVID-19 spread in the agency

The National Identity Management Commission officials across the country on Thursday began a strike action over the fear of COVID-19 spread in the agency.

The President of the Association of the Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, NIMC unit, Asekokhai Lucky, in an interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja, said already the virus had been detected in three officials of the agency at its headquarters.

He said the workers were annoyed because the management of the commission was aware of the development, but kept it from workers, who could have taken necessary precautions to protect themselves.
