…sets up committee to probe GS, TreasurerThe Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) has placed its General Secretary, Elder (Comrade) Actor Zal, on compulsory retirement leave following escalating internal wrangling within the union, citing his over 42 years of service and attainment of the approved retirement age. “One of the anomalies we discovered was that the General Secretary was answering Chief Executive Officer, which meant he was effectively the boss of the President,” Abumisi said. The NUP President revealed that instead of complying, the General Secretary reported him to the police, leading to his brief questioning by security operatives. Abumisi said the Union subsequently issued a formal notice of compulsory retirement to the General Secretary, directing him to hand over all administrative responsibilities and Union assets to the Deputy General Secretary. Abumisi also addressed allegations that he forged the General Secretary’s signature on the amended NUP constitution, describing the claim as false and misleading.
