Lagos State Printing Corporation In Financial Trouble, Unable To Pay Staff Salaries

At least 150 employees  of the Lagos State Printing Corporation are  yet to be paid their four months’ salaries by the state government.

Beside the non-payment of salaries, printing equipment at the corporation are obsolete and cannot work at maximum capacity.
The staff claimed that the last time the state government paid their salaries was after they carried placards to  protest in Alausa.

Alausa Rhythms gathered that the staff of the corporation, under the Ministry of Information and Strategy, are not on the oracle data base of the government.
A staff of the corporation, who craved anonymity, alleged that  the staff welfare is zero as several staff had been sick in the past with no one to treat them.

The worker also alleged  that there was certain money allocated to the corporation but has not been appropriated for its primary purpose, claiming that an influential figure in government refuse to use the funds.

A staff, who craved anonymity, alleged that several jobs that ought to have been executed by the corporation are taken to private organisations, thus depriving the parastatal the needed funds to run the activities of the corporation.

The staff are appealing to the state government and former governor of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to come to their aid as they could no longer bear the suffering while their colleagues in the civil service had been paid their salaries till date.
