The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Agriculture and Allied Employees (NUAAE), FCT Council, paid a courtesy visit to the Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC) on Thursday, 15 October 2026.
The Union commended the DG, first, for his efforts towards supporting the Nigerian seed industry, particularly his contribution to securing the President’s approval of the ₦50 billion Presidential Catalytic Seed Fund, a significant step towards strengthening the seed sector.
Secondly, the Union appreciated his commitment to staff welfare, particularly his support for ailing staff members, ongoing payment of outstanding staff entitlements, commencement of the construction of the staff canteen, provision of two coaster buses, support for the last May Day celebration, and assistance towards the forthcoming Staff Week activities.
However, like Oliver Twist, the Union expressed further expectations, including general staff capacity development, festive welfare support, and support towards the implementation of hazard allowance for eligible professionals, among other outstanding staff welfare concerns.
In his response, the DG appreciated the Union’s recognition and reaffirmed his commitment to continually supporting staff welfare, professional development, and the overall growth of the Council. He assured the delegation that the issues raised would receive Management’s attention.
The visit reaffirmed the shared commitment of Management and the Union to constructive engagement, improved staff welfare, and enhanced service delivery.
