Association of Senior Civil Servants commends all it's outgone CWC members for a job well done.

By Afolabi Oyekunle




The Association of Senior Civil Servants of
Nigeria has commended all it's 
Central Working Committee (CWC) members whose tenure expired on Monday, 29th July,2024 for their meritorious services to the Association. 
2024.

The Secretary-General of the Association  
(ASCSN), Comrade Joshua Apebo,  commended the National Officers for their invaluable contributions that made the Association to wax stronger.

Secretary General of ASCSN Comrade Joshua Apebo. 

In a press statement issued in Lagos today (31st July 2024), the ASCSN Chief 
Scribe posited that since they were elected into office on 29th July, 2020 during the 
the Quedrennial National Delegates Conference of the Union which took place at the Nigeria Airforce (NAF) Conference Centre, Abuja, the National Officers have 
upheld and maintained the lofty ideals of the founding fathers of the Association.

“The Central Working Committee of the Association was elected into office 
on the 29th July, 2020 for a constitutional period of four (4) years. Its tenure therefore ended on Monday, the 29th July, 2024 in line with Rule 15(iv) of the constitution of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria."

Comrade Apebo said it is necessary to add that the tenure of the CWC has not been extended or elongated as the CWC has no power under the Union’s Constitution to extend it's own tenure, the Union emphasised.

According to the Association, the expiration of tenure of the CWC has been 
communicated to the Registrar of Trade Unions, Federal Ministry of Labour and 
Employment, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Federal Civil Service Commission, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, National Security Adviser, Director-General, State Security Service, Inspector-General of Police and other Security Agencies.

It added that the expiration of the tenure of the CWC of the Association has 
also been published on Wednesday, 31st July 2024 in two national newspapers 
namely Daily Trust and The Nation.

“In view of the foregoing, it is important to state that any member of CWC 
whose tenure expired on 29th July, 2024 who continues to parade himself as National President of the Association is engaging in lawlessness, impunity, and gangsterism which are alien to the ideals of the Association in particular and the Trade Unions in general."

“No member of the expired CWC has the right to be impugning the integrity 
of their colleagues because the Association is not the vineyard of any person no matter the position they held.”

The Association, therefore, called on the Ministries, Departments, and 
Agencies (MDAs) throughout the country as well as the Security Agencies to desist 
from dealing with any member of the CWC whose tenure has expired on Monday 
29th July, 2024 because doing so might be construed as lending legitimacy toillegality.

Comrade Apebo once more expressed profound gratitude to the former 
National Leaders for a successful tenure and wish them success in their future endeavors.
