Former workers of the moribund Aluminum Smelter Company of Nigeria(ALSCON) in Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State, in the early hours of Wednesday embarked on a peaceful protest over the non-payment of their severance entitlements.
They blamed the Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) and the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) for their predicament and threatened a lawsuit against the federal agencies.
Some of the placards displayed by the protesters read thus, ”BPE/PTAD You cannot deprive us of our entitlements. We say No to injustice”, “Corruption hits BPE/PTAD. What do you mean by nominal roll? ”Total number of ALSCON workers was 1,805 and NOT 1,243 as your nominal roll says”.

The National Sugar Development Council (NSDC) has told the management of BUA Sugar that its new quota allocation for importing raw sugar will depend on the backward integration programme.
The Executive Secretary of the NSDC, Adedeji Zacch, disclosed this during the familiarisation visit to BUA Sugar Refinery complex at Apapa, Lagos yesterday.
Zacch said: “We have been allocating the quota based on having a refinery in the last five years and that has to stop because value addition with just the refinery is around 10 percent.
“What we want to focus on is the agricultural side which requires that you up-scale the cane plantation, the technology and the people because we want to target the export market and we will not be competitive if all we do is bring in raw sugar, refine and export.”
