Employers May Lay Off Workers Amid Worsening Economy – NECA by iwaeda(op): 10:11am On Feb 17, 2024
The Director General of the Nigerian Employers Consultative Association, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, has raised the alarm that the country’s worsening economic problems can lead to retrenchment of workers.

This followed the continuous decline of the naira in the country which affected organisational activities.

Recently, several companies have closed up their businesses in Nigeria, citing economic challenges as a major reason.

Employers are certainly devising new ways of survival amid the worsening economy, while employees are gripped with fear as the fall in the value of the naira renders their salaries worthless.
Nigerian economy is in dependency mode
Speaking with Saturday PUNCH, NECA DG, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, said in this time of gross naira depreciation, employers could consider staff reduction as an option for survival.

He noted that the erosion in the strength of the naira tended to shrink the working capital of businesses and lower their volume of output.

Oyenride said, “Once businesses are constrained to lower capacity utilisation and output level due to the dissipation of their working capitals resulting from the gross depreciation in naira value, they (employers) will naturally consider all options available for survival, including staff reduction.


“A significant proportion of businesses in the country depend on imported raw materials and machines; therefore, the erosion in the naira’s value tends to shrink the working capitals of these businesses and lower their volume of output.”

We warned about the consequences of desecrating the land but it fell on deaf ears.

A corrupt judiciary teamed up with a corrupt executive and corrupt electoral body to desecrate our nation.
Instead of the legislative arm and it's leadership to speak out, they teamed up with the executive and were busy singing on your mandate we shall stand thereby sinking the nation into dearth.

The desecration and desecrators of the land brought heavy curse on the land.

Today the land is in total shambles. Nothing seems to work no matter the human and financial resources put in. Dearth, pains, hunger, insecurity are on record levels.

We need to repent as a nation as the sultan and a northern governor said. But most important is to take out the desecrators of the land and repair the desecrated altar of our nation.

It is either the desecrators of the land go or our nation sinks deeper and deeper to death.

Those shouting Peter Obi up and down as if he has magic wand what would Obi had done differently? Peter Obi that failed in Anambra is who they are comparing with a man that set the template for modern Lagos. Even if the price of cement is 50k, we will continue to pray for and support the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu

Nigeria needs more farmers not Office workers.

You want to be a Billionaire in Nigeria ?

This expensive food prices will last for atleast 3-5 years.

Start farming today and you will be rich in naira or dollar.

Everybody must eat.

It shall never be well for INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu and his generation.
