In other to stop modern day slavery, more than 700 employees of Spanco BPO Ltd have spilled out into the streets of Ibadan, in a bid to show there displeasure of the poor working conditions and subsequent manhandling of its colleagues by security members of the University of Ibadan. On the 21nd of January an employee fainted and was not attended to for over 30mins, she was also later asked to pay her hospital bills even though a health scheme is in place.
The issue led to a downing of tools on the 22nd, all effort to speak with the management has proved abortive. Today, the 23nd, employees resumed as usual to be assaulted by the security agents of the University of Ibadan on the instruction of the Top management of Spanco Nig.

Spanco BPO Services Ltd, is an Indian company which runs the customer care services of Airtel a sister Indian company.
In 2011, Airtel had a similar run in with employees over work conditions.

This is really dis-hearting, I have never seen a situation whereby a company or an organization will be putting life of her staffs in danger.

Talking about the hazardous risks that the agents are facing is even enough to condem this company. They tend to expose their staffs to both eyes, ears and general health risks. Even as that, they don't tend to provide good working environment.

I think the government of this nation as well as the Oyo state government should stop companies like this from coming into this state because of the renumeration they are offering.

I rest my case..
