Dis is a very goodnews... Kudos to mtn.

That is a welcome development

Its a good development so long as they are paying the Nigerian engineers of similar remunuration

Dangote should pls emulate this, not all about packing Indians every were in his company

Good move. Another way of nationalizing the company

CAMEROONPRIDE: Did you read the article at all

why do you ask!

Policewoman: I'm sure the Nigerians would be paid PEANUTS since they fired the expatriates to save cost.

Is it not better that they get paid peanuts than remain unemployed?

CAMEROONPRIDE: Did you read the article at all

Can you let me get your point? I'm still waiting before i loss my temper. If i do, you'll regret ever leaving cameroun forum to Nigeria forum.
Tell me where i didn't read well now!

SlyIg: Thats nice...
Thats if Nigerians will be paid like the expatriate!

The 285 expatriates were replaced with Nigerian workers in a move to save costs...

VEry welcome development. i hope Dangote dey hear ooooooooooooooo. We have qualified people here, the expatriates should train them and go back to their countries

I think the major reason mtn had to go local isnt just to save cost but in compliance with FG's local content law, even though this also hugely saves them cost. Am wondering why NLers are saying some disparaging things about this move. Do you mean that Nigerians (you inclusive) are good-for-nothings? Or do you mean you'd rather hear that MTN sacks 285 Nigerian workers for expatriates? Sometimes it juust seems to me some people reason with something other than their brains! And with this kind of mindset you're jobseeking? You must be an occupational/career hazard.
I can attest that the Oil and Gas Companies are also going local content in their staffing. All of the Supervising Engineers I now work under are Nigerians! Positions hitherto preserved for Oyibo.
I believe a Nigerian can deliver. They shud shun favouritism, nepotism, quota system and racketeering. They'd certainly get the performers onboard.
God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians

These telecoms co's r exploiting ds Country bad.


The terms of service & insecurity of tenure is worse than the banking sector.

The pay in relation to thisn does not correlate at all.


The NCC is just a waste of time, doesn't regulate nor protect stringent issues


#.. They'r or they'v bn havin a field day in Nigeria

That is the way it should be. More foreign companies should take a cue.

It's a long overdue project.shebi dem dey form nii

Although that guy Cameroonshame is an idîot, but what he means is that if you read the article, you would have seen where they said they are replacing the expatriates with Nigerians to reduce cost. Hence they cannot be paid the same amount.

This is what all the oil companies should do

what are you doing with expatriate before, i hope you will pay the nigerians well.

I hope this does not affect my magic sim in any way, still enjoy streaming internet TV at night, TV stations even DSTV cannot give.

like serz what have they been waiting for all this yeaars.. nice one ooh..

surugede: What he has not told us yet is how many local staff will cease from being MTN direct staff when the implement their manpower outsourcing policy. When that is done, many MTN personnel would become outsourced mainly to the vendors, that would mean lesser pay.

weldone,u av truly spkn well,inface God bles u.dis shows hw ur vast knowledge of nigeria is.omo c as pips dey commend dem,y nt wait an c d type of employmnt b4 commending dem na,am sure mactay and cssnl etc will b organisn a jubulatn party dis nite

JideTheBlogger: Hahaha..

The coy simply wants to reduce cost by employing Nigerians they can be paying peanuts.

You people just love to complain. MTN has set the foundation and exparts are expensive as they are paid in their country of origin's currency plus incentive for leaving their place of origin. In Naija it includes body guards, transport ( chauffering, power, phone calls and travell allowances. And it shows more commitment to train locals to run their business enlarging the employment pool in the host country. Exparts always have an end of contract dates as they cannot leave their countries of origin for ever. They are there just to train and set up.

This is a welcome development. Infact, all multinational companies should be forced to do this. Not only local content but we want Nigerians in supervisory and managerial positions. This cheating (which is what I call it) is rampant in many industries including construction, engineering, the corporate world etc. Why would we bring 28 year old foreign engineers and turn dem to supervisors over 35 year old Nigerian engineers who probably have more experience. This one of the reasons of massive unemployment and underemployment in Nigeria. If we can really force these foreign companies to employ mostly Nigerian staff in their operations not only will general salaries increase, but unemployment will decrease too. Julius Berger is one company that those this. And so many other companies. Yet we have thousands of young engineers in Nigeria that are unemployed.

good move by mtn.
