₦airaland Forum

By Henry Umoru ABUJA –

THE Senate said Wednesday that it would reject moves by Mobile Telephone Network, MTN to sack Nigerians working in the telecommunication industry without recourse to global rules and practices.

Speaking to journalists today, when confronted with media report that MTN Nigeria Limited recently sacked over five hundred staff, Chairman, Senate Committee on Communications, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, said, ” as the representatives of the people we cannot fold our alms and watch our constituents being oppressed by employers of labour.

We cannot in any way tolerate such. At the same time, we shall ensure that our foreign investors are not unduly threatened. When my attention was drawn to this ugly development I immediately contacted the Managing Director of the company.”

Although he said that facts were somehow misrepresented in the report he still admitted that it was only the short-term contract staff who work in the call centres that were affected.

He said, “I then let him know that it would be proper for him to review the action especially in view of the biting economy in the country. It is only when that option fails that the committee and by extension, Senate, would take a position to protect our people”.

“MTN has since denied the report. This is the second time in one week that the South African telecoms giant making public denial.

Just last Wednesday it denied an allegation that it had illegally repatriated 13.92 billion dollars from Nigeria, saying the claim was without merit.”

What is dis dummy above me commenting?

Probably reasnobale to saythat the dummy above me has noting better to add to the discussion.

A tomato paste company that decided to invest in Nigeria has been frustrated out of the country by Buhari's inept leadership putting 1500 jobs on the line. Banks have been downsizing since the beginning of this junta same as the construction, shipping and even down to SME's especially. Once govt puts in place favorable policies, investors will rush over but when govt decides to be ídiots, don't blame those who try to protect their investments

MTN is a private investment.....


Dear Senators Impeach Buhari I think Osibanjo will lead Nigeria towards a positive economic climate
