Some angry members of the union on Monday occupied the secretariat.

This resulted in the sealing of the secretariat on Monday.

The national secretariat is still under lock at the time of filing this report on Monday.

A former ASCSN Chairman in Oyo State, Andrew Emelieze who spoke with DAILY POST added that the protesters are not happy with what is happening in the union.

“The protesters have promised to continue the protest until all bad eggs are flushed out of the union and the eventual prosecution of all the looters in the union”.
