MTN Nigeria laying off Contract Staff without been paid their full salary. No gratuity, no pension, no thank you mail to people who have spent at least 5years to like 14years of their life.

They did the worst last week by telling them to do photocopy of their ID cards and return the main ID'S with the staff left with a sheet of paper without been paid and still expected to work. They also harassed the contract staffs searching them with mobile police armed with guns as if they are criminals. This is outright injustice....

No mails communicated yet on the mode of payment for the 15days they worked as their salary is been calculated from 15th of previous month to 16th of present month, but the remaining days of 16th- 30th september is not paid with their leave days remaining and also unpaid leaves.

We call on concerns Nigerians and appropriate authorities to help them fight these course.

The US rapper, danced Shoki in her new video and was kind enough to give a shout out to the originator of the dance, Nigerian music star, Lil Kesh. After one of her fans pointed out that the budding Nigerian artiste is the originator of the dance. That's so romantic of Missy Elliot.

What he is trying to say is that, if the power condition in Nigeria becomes so stable, Fashola wouldn't have need to use generator in his own home. None of us would have any need to.

In simple English, he's trying to implore Fashola to do his best.

Ben Murray Bruce, chairman senate committee on privatisation, has condemned the N1.04tr ($5.2bn) fine imposed on MTN Nigeria, saying it hurts Nigeria more than the telecommunications firm. The fine imposed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) was referred to by the senator as “probably the most damaging action ever taken against Nigeria’s drive for Foreign Direct Investment”. “MTN is not without fault and her actions and inactions are deserving of a strong rebuke from our authorities,” he said. “However, the extent of the fine by the Nigerian Communications Commission is such that it sends a very wrong signal to foreign investors and gives them the impression that Nigeria is in a desperate financial situation due to the sudden drop in crude oil prices and wants to get alternative revenue by any means necessary. “As a patriotic Nigerian I know this is not true. However, I know that perception is also reality. “Foreign investors in Nigeria currently feel vulnerable and those contemplating investing in Nigeria are putting such plans on hold as their boards and management pause to take in the consequence of what just happened to MTN Nigeria. “Many pundits point to the drop in the value of MTN shares in their home country and the temporary suspension in trading of such shares by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.” He called on the federal government to immediately and publicly take action to regain investors confidence in Nigeria. “What is perhaps going unnoticed is that the action of the Nigerian Communications Commission has also caused a negative ripple effect on the shares of other foreign investors operating in Nigeria even though they have not flouted any of our laws and regulations. “In the long run, the move hurts Nigeria more than it hurts MTN and may be described as cutting our nose in order to spite our face. “I call on the Federal Government to immediately and publicly take steps to remedy the situation and restore investor confidence in Nigeria by resolving this impasse with tact with a view to our long term financial interests rather than our immediate interests. MTN has sought to review the fine to as low as 20 percent of the original value from N1.04tr to N208bn.

My compatriots and their parochial mindset toward for-profit organizations . For all I know and care , for-profit organizations foremost priority is to make profit while quality service(s) accompany such thought to make it an effective action and result oriented strategy . Therefore , it is foolhardy for any sane person to expect such organizations to operate on cheap emotional sentiments as been expected by majority of the commenters on this subject under discussion . Outsourcing is not illegal, therefore I see no reason why any sane person should badmouth MTN and their Indian contractors for a decision like this .

You too can become one of their contractors ( vendors ) , since you don't have the financial resources to be their competitor . I am ready to guide -free of charge , any sane and sound person/organization through to establishing effective and profitable outsourcing firm .

That cannot happen in 4 or 8 years. The city of New York consumes 200GW or electricity. We generate just 3GW in Nigeria.

Moving from 3GW to 200GW doesn't happen in 8 years. Let is start by trying to achieve 45GW which is what is generated in South Africa. Even that is a tall order in 4 or 8 years. Fixing power cannot happen overnight. If we can get to 12MW, which means more Nigerians can have access to electricity and for a little longer than now, then he would have tried.

It has come to our attention that inaccurate information is currently being circulated on social media, alleging plans by MTN Nigeria to dismiss 6000 employees, starting with call centre staff. These rumours are false and designed to spark fear and panic amongst our staff and contractors.

As part of efforts to drive further efficiency towards improving the quality of customer service delivery, MTN has signed a new outsourcing contract with a new organization, which takes effect later in the year.

What this means is that our call centre, which was already outsourced several years ago, will now be managed by a new vendor.

The former vendors – CCNSSL and MacTay Consulting – will remain partners/consultants with MTN Nigeria and will continue to manage other key aspects of our business.

This change, which is in line with global best practices for organisations in our industry, is not exclusive to MTN Nigeria alone. Similar outsourcing arrangements are taking place across other MTN operations in Anglophone (English-speaking) countries across Africa, including South Africa.

We remain committed to delivering quality of service that our customers deserve, guided by a strong culture of best practice people management.
