The Transport Service workers, (ECTS) in Edo State blocked the entrance gate to the company on Monday during a protest over non payment of salaries.
According to report, the workers stated that the Managing Director, Mrs Edugie has not paid them their salaries for over two months which has mad things hard for them.
“we have not received salaries for the past two months and she (Mrs Edugie) is enjoying alone with our sweat, we do the job.
“We have drivers and conductors here, we have families, how do we cater for them when we are not being paid, even when we are doing our job well.
“She wants us to eat grass, how do we feed our families especially this festive period when families are having nice time together? She should pay our money.
“We heard the government wanted to help out in paying but she objected by saying she is capable of paying but up till now we have not gotten any payment.”
They pleaded with the state governor, Godwin Obaseki to come to their rescue so as for them to be able to purchase foodstuff against Christmas eve.
