Railway retirees, workers kick as NRC plans ejection from quarters

The retirees and workers of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, yesterday kicked against plans by the management to eject them from their quarters, despite a court order restraining it from doing so. They said the management had succeeded in ejecting over 200 from the quarters in the past, with a promise to demolish and build a new structure but abused the process by selling the properties.

The workers, who took turns to speak to newsmen in Kano on the current attempt to eject them from the remaining five blocks of 24, however, called on the Federal Government, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as well as Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, to wade in by investigating the continuous sales of their quarters.
