Construction Company Owned By Tinubu’s Lebanese Ally, Chagoury Sacks Over 150 Workers For Protesting Against Poor Remunerations

The construction firm owned by Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and close ally of President Bola Tinubu, Gilbert Chagoury, has sacked over 150 workers for staging a protest against poor remuneration and slave-like working conditions.

The latest development is a brutal response to the protest that erupted last week at the company’s site in Lagos, where workers downed tools and marched in protest against years of neglect, unfair pay, and exploitative labour practices.

Workers who spoke to SaharaReporters confirmed that those targeted were deliberately selected for their roles in the protest.

“They handpicked those that participated in the protest,” one of the workers revealed.

got the report yesterday that over 150 people were sacked, including one of the site supervisors. They accused them of causing unrest.”

“What really led to the protest last week was that the workers demanded for improved welfare. For instance, the transport allowance was N2000 daily and the management did not increase after removal of subsidy. The increment of transport fares made life uncomfortable for the workers and they begged the management to increase the transport allowance but they turned deaf ears.”

“This was what resulted in the protest last week and this pushed them to increase the money from N2000 to N3500. But they have sacked about 150 workers now, particularly those behind the protest,” the worker added.

He also highlighted long-standing grievances at the company, including exploitation of Nigerian staff by their foreign counterparts and forced work on public holidays.

“Other issues that the workers are not pleased with are the foreign domination and working during the public holidays. Like today now (Democracy Day), we don’t have holiday. Even this Monday (Sallah Break) we were forced to work.”

Gutter news from the gutter media Sahara deserted

A company handling multi billion contracts but giving their staff N2000 daily as transport allowance. Any sense in that?

Yele would just conjunct nonsense and think people would swallow it

A Nigerian company should just absorb all the sacked staffs…I will just advise anyone that before you challenge your employer,get another job first cos no other employer will employ you once they know you were sacked from somewhere for challenging your former employer.

Gilbert Chagoury: Tinubu’s chief money launderer. Under this notorious Tinubu regime, corruption wears agbada that’s why there’s no fight against it. They are the ones benefiting from it.

your family company can employ all of them so that they can work like ant and eat like elephant…mtcheew
If u don’t kiss the truth,most of these people maybe not all don’t have a skill,education and certification,they do daily labor jobs.even in America most of our youths with their qualification and background back home do these jobs under stringent conditions too,yes maybe the remuneration is different but it doesn’t conform.
Our youths can’t be using 3/5years to work as laborers when they can learn a craft and be on their own,being a welder,fashion designer,hair stylist and many others may not take up to 3years to make you independent.

My advise to the youth,get a hand work today,master in it and you won’t regret it in future.If my tailor makes 5 clothes in a week at average of 15k,some designs costs up to 30k,how can he be looking for a labor job to do?.
