Aggrieved workers of the Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO) have protested the dismissal of the agency’s Managing Director, Najeeb Abdulsalam.
Recall that on Wednesday night, September 27, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had ordered the removal of heads of the FCT agencies and parastatals. Amongst them was Abdulsalam.
However, in videos recorded on Thursday, September 29, workers broke down in tears as they protested Abdulsalam’s removal.

It’ll be a loss on you sir and the entire #AUMTCO staff if you let him go. See us here protesting sir.”
