Primate Ayodele Advices President Buhari On Indigenous Telecommunication Giant, Globacom

Telecoms giant, Globacom, owned by billionaire businessman, Dr. Mike Adenuga is currently swimming in series of crises as it allegedly laid off about 100 married female staffers from its Globacom Friendly Centres and also being ordered by a court to pay one  ex-staffer the sum of  N29m over unlawful termination of appointment.

 
Reportedly, we gathered that during the International Women’s Day, over 100 female staffers of the telecommunications company were laid off. One of the affected staff, (name withheld) spilled the beans.
According to her, the married female staff (some of whom have served the company for over 10 years) were axed. This is to create space for fresh and young recruits who are currently being employed by Glo.
 
“Very small girls have been recruited and are still being recruited. They are paying them about three to four times lower than what we earned and one of them I heard have been asked to sign to bonds not to get married for God know when.”
 Another shocker she dropped is that the sacked female staffers got the shocker of their life  when all that they got from glo is a month salary in lieu, “Those who have leave days that have not been utilized, they converted it to monthly salaries. And that was it,for over 10, 11, 12, 13, even 15 years of service. And presently a senior Advocate of Nigeria has been contracted to handle the case!.”

Aside that,  information available to us revealed that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), Kaduna  ordered Globacom Limited to pay $69, 212.38 to its former Installation Technician, Souleymane Thera over unlawful termination of his appointment.

Justice Lawal Mani in his judgment also ordered the telecom company to pay him the sum of $11,000 being his 11 years’ vacation allowances.
The court further ordered Globacom to pay interest of 10 percent per annum on the judgment sum from June 22, 2017 till final liquidation of it.
In his judgment, Justice Mani noted that hearing of the case commenced on May 2, 2017 when the claimant opened his case and testified as CW1, adopted his written statement as his evidence in chief and tendered eight exhibits
