If you a casual worker you will take your time in reading the post no matter how long it may be. Its scarce to see a family without an unemployed graduate or a casual worker, its as bad as that. People keep praying for your promotion but deep down your mind you that can never happen. Casual worker don't get promotion, your experience can't be reckoned with when pursuing another job.

Nobody cares except when you are to compulsorily contribute to the purse of the stupid association that does not care about anything concerning you as contract staff.
This is common among polytechnic graduates and now cutting across to Bsc holder too.
FG, NLC, TUC, NUBIFFI, ASSIBIFI and all other bodies need to rise up to there responsibilities to save all contract staff or casual workers.
Mind you the casual worker holds the key operational and administrative positions in all this capitalist companies.
New business to venture into now is to become a recruiting firm to outsource for those companies. On a final note, we know the law and the truth, but the problem is the fear of the oga @ the top.


I see revolution. My right is my right.

i thought am the only Nigerian who is noticing this issue.

offtopic but...
yo
I just heard that yesterday..almost shed man tears....of all the characters to kill off

the worst hit is construction coys esp those that owned by lebanese. but wat will someone do if d owner said he is not givin appointment letter? Any option?? Or those he refusd to staff

most of these outsourcing companies are usually owned by people who can influence our laws and it's implementations. getting rid of indirect employment in Nigeria is a journey too far.

U need to see the way these Asians treat casual workers. Even when these workers sustain permanent injury on the job, they are given peanuts and sent away. I pray a government really FOR the masses will arise soon!

Pennywise: How can people be complaining about casualization in a country where true unemployment is in the neighborhood of 90%.

Half bread is better than no bread. A good policy of govt will fail if implemented at a wrong time. Companies, local and foreign should be encouraged through lax labor laws until the country reaches a reasonable level of commerce and industry before the govt intervenes with operational labor laws.

Otherwise these industries will simply move across the border and be exporter goods into Nigeria. Then, there will be no jobs let alone casualization.

I just wonder what your bases of resoning are!

flawless911: Who read dat?
No.. Seriously, who did

I did, u shld try reading 2...it won't kill u

i perceive conspiracy between the private Sector and the Government, Government have failed to regulate the activities of the private Sectors which has brought the highest level of greed and modern slevary in Nigeria, while many work tirelessly a microscopic few chop tirelessly leading to the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

There are highly skilled personnel who have been contract staff for up to 20yrs in the Oil & Gas sector especially in Shell (SPDC) Nigeria . A good number of them occupy very key positions in the establishment but are paid peanuts at tthe end of the day with no terminal benefits whatsover. They perpetuate this by issuing employment letters through manpower contractors every January for a 1-year contract which expires every December 31st. By January the following year, the whole ritual is repeated again and again leaving a good number of them frustrated, dejected and demoralized year in year out. I have a brother who is in this situation as I type.

No.. Seriously, who did

I did and i understood every word of it. Lazy bones learn not to be put off by the volume of a write up but by its content, you never can tell what u might gain from it after all

AjanleKoko: I can't believe people are still complaining over casualization in Nigeria.

I guess the problem is with our largely unskilled, and inadequately-educated workforce. Nigerian workers should think more about being personally productive, and less about a company that'll provide them with lifetime employment.

If everybody is personally productive

If everybody is personally productive, who will work for the other or who will buy each others' product?

satellitedaisy: I neither read nor understand english. Who will help me

How were you able to write in english since u neither read nor understand?

God help us

This is a very serious topic and pple are here saying they can't be bothered to read d whole write up. I bet d pple saying these are our dear students who haven't (yet) experienced dis. Just pray you don't experience it.
I served in a bank and after my youth service, I was retained on a "contract" basis. I did it for a few months before I realised that there was no future in it and I ran away from it.
In banks, it's a source of cheap (some may say unskilled) labour. In Oil and Gas and Telecoms industries you can get skilled personnel doing it for short periods (not always).
It is something dat shd be done away with as far I'm concerned.
