Workers at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC, United
States have embarked on an industrial action over unpaid salaries for five
months.
Activities at the embassy have been paralysed as workers
gathered at the lunch room in the basement on Tuesday.
Although some departments of the embassy are said to still
be functional, majority have suspended work.
The workers have, however, threatened to report the embassy
to the U.S. Labour Department.
The embassy in Washington and the consulate in New York are
said to be currently cash strapped, with staff and local workers not being paid
for months.
According to Channels, a source close to the Presidency said
there has been a lot of mismanagement of resources in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, causing lack of concern for staff welfare and difficulty in the
missions being able to carry out their functions.
