Relevant comments above has answered your question

Furthermore by being a contract staff it means you are working at the will of your employers, you have no right other than what is stipulated in the terms of the contract of your employment and usually under this type of employment the employers will prepare the terms of the employment solely which favours them and when you sign, it is binding and you can be relieved of the employment at any time, because you are not a permanent staff. There is nothing bad and it has no effect which is beyond the employment.

TO KNOW MORE ON EMPLOYMENT READ FUTHER

Now there are 3 types of employment
* EMPLOYMENT WITH STATUTORY FLAVOURemployment backed by the Law in which an employee can not be dismissed or tamper at the will of the employer) Eg Civil service, public Service.

*EMPLOYMENT UNDER CONTRACT: (Master Servant relationship) in which the employment is determine by the terms of contract if there is no agreed term the Employer has right to do what ever he likes at will even to the extent of waking up and dismiss the employee without any reason and the Law in this situation can not be of any help. Because you cannot force a willing servant on an unwilling Master.

*EMPLOYMENT AT PLESURE OR WILL OF THE EMPLOYER:, in this type of employment the employee is working at the will of the Master and the Master can do whatever he likes and at any time concerning the employment.

TERMINATION OF A MASTER AND SERVANT EMPLOYMENT

A master can terminate the employment of his servant at any time and for any reason or for no reason at all provided the termination is in accordance with the terms of the contract of employment the motive for such termination is irrelevant. See Osianya v. Afribank Nig Plc. (2007) 6 NWLR (Pt.1031) 565 (SC).

TERMINATION OF WRITTEN CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT

Where there is a written contract of employment, it is outside the province of the Court to look anywhere for terms of termination of the contract, other than in the written contract. See: Katto vs. C.B.N (1999) 6 NWLR (Pt. 607) 390 at 405, paras. D-F.

The terms and conditions of contract of employment are the substratum of any case where the issue of wrongful termination of employment calls for determination. The importance of the terms of a contract of service in determining the question of termination of the contract was emphasize as follows by Mohammed JSC in Ifeta v. Shell Pet. Dev. Co. Ltd (2006) 7 MJSC 121 at page 133, para. G
"In the determination of this issue, I need to emphasize the bindingness of the terms of the contract of service between the parties. There is no doubt that the parties’ freedom of contract carries with it the inevitable implication of sanctity of their contracts. This means that if any question should arise with respect to the contract, the terms in any documents which constitute the contract are, invariably, the guide to its interpretation. On this premises, the material question is; what did the parties in the instant case agree with respect to the termination of the contract of service”
In the absence of a written contract of employment either of the parties could abrogate the contract on a week’s or a month’s notice, or on payment of wages for a week or a month or whatever was agreed period for payment of wages.

That is the Law in Nigeria !!!

My father had served the government for 35years and also as a principal of schools. Tho a pensioner.
Five years ago he was employed by a renowned private school as the principal.

Prior to his employment, there was this principle that was sacked because of his misconducts...like fighting teachers, misappropriation of funds and all. He happened to be the husband of the daughter of the aged owner of the school. The owner of the school sacked the man and that was how my father came into the picture. This is his 5years in office, he had convinced the aged owner who's in London for increase in teachers salaries, pays them during the school holidays, borders quality food and steady electricity. He was loved by all and even as his son I also felt the tremendous changes in the school. He took this school as his own and I know he used to support the school from his own purse according to the staff.

One morning, yeah...last week, we got a call from the man's daughter that my father should resign with immediate effect that her husband again is taking over. Not just that, but also has just 2days to pack out or vacate the school premises.

Just like that? We called the owner but not reachable and according to reports the old man is sick, treated in London and his son is also in London. So the daughter was handed over to manage the school since she's the one in the country. Just last term, my father realised so much money and yet the daughter refused paying anybody that there's no money for any payment.

My father has packed to the village and I can't move to the villa with him since I'm still job hunting in the city.
Truth is I'm staying with a friend for now to fix my head round this whole ish and pension isn't steady for my father... I need at least something doing just to support them.

I'm open to work anywhere provided the pay is good.
I've got a poultry farm but capital to install it for production.

I've read testimonies here and I believe in no time all this shall be history.

Ipobians are digging their graves with no one to advise them. If they continue like this till November the government is going to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu and proscribe his group then a crack down will begin. The same Igbo elite who made his release possible will no longer support him. IPOB is a group of illiterate with no strategy.

And yorubas are still sleeping and dreaming of restructuring, it has not dawn on them that this country cannot work or move forward again. the only way now is total disintegration through referendum.

It is sagay himself that is confused. The Senate can't decide for executive who to nominate for a position but the executive too can't decide for the Senate who to confirm and as long as you are not confirmed as an EFCC chair, you can't hold on to the office illegally. The law envisaged a situation whereby the president may eventually nominate his wife as EFCC chair for vendetta and personal reasons so it created a check and balance via confirmation with the Senate which are representatives of the people. Once the Senate says no, it means no. If you are not happy with your senator decision you can recall him but whatever he does in his capacity today as your senator is legal and must be respected. So it is partisan sagay that is a comedian

Who is a protestant? Where is the insult and the superior argument?

Seems you're a starter in this forum. I'd advice you to go for more studies. At least learn better ways of twisting Scriptures to somehow support your idolatry.

Your outing here is nothing but a disaster. Such wicked butchering of the truths!
