Eighty per cent of bank and other financial institutions’ employees are casual workers, says the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI), blaming casualisation for major frauds perpetrated in the nation’s financial sector.

The association’s president, Oyinkansola Olasanoye, also lamented the industry poorly remunerated casual workers.

“Our major problem has been casualisation because, in every bank, insurance company, and the financial institution in Nigeria, as of today, almost 80 per cent of the workers are casual workers,” Ms Olasanoye revealed.

“Presently, the Labour Law Act made provisions that there will be contract staff, but our battle is that those contract staff should be allowed to have the dignity of labour and be adequately compensated.”

Last February, Nigeria’s Senate said it was working on a bill to stop the casualisation of Nigerian graduates.

According to Ms Olasanoye, some of the fraudulent activities in the sector may be because the casual workers are not professionals, well-trained, and embittered due to inadequate compensation.

“We respect the casual workers, but we realise that due to inadequate compensation, it is easy for them to be used as frauds,” added the ASSBIFI president.

She pointed out that ASSBIFI planned to create a career path for such workers through regulations in the Federal Ministry of Labour.

“The casual workers are not employees of the institution.

There is a third party that provides them, and these providers are also registered by the Ministry of Labour.

These providers give the casual workers two-year employment,” she stated. “At the end of the two years, the contract is renewed with a new term. The union is trying to create a career path that at the end of the second year, there should be some negotiations. If the institution needs employment, the worker moves and becomes an employee.”

Ms Olasanoye noted that if the financial institution did not have “room for employment, the worker continues.”

She further explained, “This is so that when the worker wants to move to another institution, he should move with three years of experience and not just the two years contract. This is what we are putting into the regulation.”

I take it you didn't watch the video and went by the headline. I am no Christian but by criticizing the dead, he preached the gospel. Any serious student of the Bible would have known these things anyway. TB Joshua dabbled heavily in the occult and did not follow the true precepts of Christianity.

Just that due to Okotie's failings and the poverty in Nigeria (which allowed people overrate Joshua's charity), this message would be lost on people.

Against the backdrop of a fresh crisis threatening the soul of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Board of Trustees, Thursday, converged at the Wadata Plaza, national secretariat of the party in Abuja.

Vanguard gathered that the organ which prides itself as “the conscience of the party,” is deliberating on the best possible way of handling the internal feud, following growing calls for the resignation of party chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.

Seated at the National Executive Committee, NEC hall of the party are BoT chairman, Senator Walid Jibrin, immediate past Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, former Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Tom Ikimi, former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, amongst others.

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, said, yesterday, that democracy and dictatorship cannot coexist, noting Nigeria was treading a dangerous path because young people are
feeling disempowered.

Kukah, who spoke at an event organised by The Kukah Centre and Open Society Initiative for West Africa, OSIWA, in Abuja, said: “This is a dangerous path we are treading. Our young people are feeling disempowered.

‘’We are faced with a nation that is consuming its own children, we are faced with the prospects of an uncertain future. It is impossible, even the worst enemy of Nigeria would never have contemplated that this is where we will be.’’

Kukah said the 2023 elections would give Nigerians another opportunity to think of the mistake they had made.

He said: “Democracy is not an exercise undertaken by good men and women, which is what Nigerians have always fallen victim to — that we are looking for holy men, men of integrity, men of dignity to govern us and we assume that managing a diverse Nigeria does not require some level of deep intellectual reflection and understanding on the complexity in managing a society so energetic.

“This is a dangerous path we are treading. Our young people are feeling disempowered. We are faced with a
nation that is consuming its own children, we are faced with the prospects of an uncertain future. ‘’It is impossible, even the worst enemy of Nigeria would never have contemplated that this is where we will be.”

While Modric dragged less fancied Croatia to WC final by winning Golden Ball, Gerrard was busy making sure England were beaten at Euro 2004 by giving a back pass to Thierry Henry of France.

Modric at age 22 ensured that England with peak Lampard and peak Gerrard didn't qualify for Euro 2008. He helped Croatia beat England at Wembley.

How can NT flops be placed alongside gods like Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane, Pirlo, Kross, Modric

Debroslink:
Gerrard was actually the badluck and the weak point. He contributed massively to England's loss at euro 2004.
When Liverpool was at the brink of league title, he made sure that that didn't happen by slipping in front of Demba Ba.
Who can forget his header and pass to Uruguay's Suarez at the WC? A world class blunder!

Just under 5 years of leaving Liverpool, they won the EPL and UCL.
