Staff of the Lagos State Printing Corporation, Lagos State, South West Nigeria recently protested in front of their office over poor welfare and non-payment of salaries and demanded the sack of the Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Alhaji Yusuf Agaba.
The staff lamented that since the corporation, owned by the Lagos State Government began operation six years ago, the workers had been suffering and going through tough times.
The workers called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to immediately sack the CEO over alleged inefficiency, adding that their boss had already confessed that he was tired of the job and wanted to resign.

Efforts by our reporter to speak with the CEO proved abortive.
