LABOUR leaders in Osun State, on Monday, disrupted the conduct of what it called capacity assess-ment examinations for assistant directors, deputy directors, directors, executive secretaries and general managers in the service of the state government.
The examination, scheduled to hold at the Osun State University (Uniosun), was brought to an abrupt end when labour leaders chased away civil servants who reported for the examination.
It was reliably gathered that those taking part in the examination were already seated in the halls, while papers had been distributed to them when the labour leaders stormed the venue of the examination in hired buses and ordered every public servant participating in the examination to walk out.
Those who refused to comply with the directive of the labour leaders were threatened and chased out of the examination halls with canes.
The examiners, who came to conduct the examination, led by Professor Ladipo Ada-molekun, watched helplessly as the public servants were chased out of the examination halls.
Speaking on the development through a telephone interview, the state chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Alhaji Saka Adesiyan, confirmed the disruption of the examination, adding that the organised labour in the state knew nothing about “competence examination” which the state government wanted to introduce in the state.
Reacting to the development, the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Sunday Akere, said the matter was a family matter, adding that it would soon be resolved.
He said the grudge of the labour leaders was that the notice was too short.
