(FLOWERBUDNEWS) The Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) has urged the Federal Government to step up its efforts in the areas of security, economic diversification, basic infrastructure among others.

The communiqué signed by the AUPCTRE’s National President Benjamin Anthony and National Secretary Raphael Imade, charged the government to quickly tackle some of the challenges confronting the nation.
One of the key challenge identified by the union was that of insecurity, where it frowned at the high spate of kidnapping, robberies, ritual killings and other vices.
While noting the various economic policies of the government, the union however urged that more efforts be placed on diversifying the economy from over reliance on oil.
