Lagos Water Corporation Starts Protest Against Sack Of Workers


Some workers’ unions have commenced a protest over the sack of workers of the Lagos State Water Corporation (LWC) by the state government.
On Wednesday, the workers commenced the protest rally at the Ikeja under-bridge while heading towards the Lagos house of assembly complex in Alausa.
Workers under the aegis of the Amalgamated Unions of Public Corporations Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) and other unions are at the protest.


In April, the Lagos government announced the disengagement of 391 LWC workers “as part of its ongoing restructuring efforts aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and meeting the evolving demands of the organisation”.


The state government said the corporation has been battling “financial and operational challenges, struggling to generate adequate revenue to meet its obligations”.




In December 2023, the state government also sacked 450 casual workers of the corporation.
