According to the staff members, The staff of the commission have been working all year (2018) with months of no pay. The letter of termination came due to continual outcry from staff members of the commission demanding their salary arrears.
In the letter signed by Helen Nzeako on behalf of the Nigerian High Commission UK, the termination of employment is as a result of restructuring of the organisation and due to budgetary constraints.
The staff members of the Commission received this news in dismay and disappointment as most have served the Federal Government of Nigeria meritoriously.
A source alleged that the exercise is a plot by the management to disengage every staff to so as to pave way for them to employ their friends & family members into these positions. The letter of termination or disengagement instructed staff to reapply for the same job if they so wish.
“We want the World to see how we are been ill-treated just because we asked for our salaries. This is so unfair and an injustice to democratic rule”. As quoted by a displaced staff of the commission.
The aggrieved staff are calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, the Federal Government of Nigeria to look into the matter.
Meanwhile, the Commission claims the dismissal took effect from 1st of January 2018

ReplyDeleteThe first time I was there, stella you go think say na 20, 000 naira these people dey collect as salary ni. Roughly dressed and looking hungry, didn't even show they are abroad sef.
DeleteBefore reading I thought they were being dismissed due to their behaviour towards people. I now understand why they take money from people and why they are so ill tempered. What a way to treat people. Nigerian government system has absolutely no regard for anybody.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Very ill tempered set of people.
DeleteNa wa....so all the £s they have been collecting from Nigerians abroad that need to renew their passports isn't enough for them to pay salaries? And they are sacking over 50 staff, how many staff do they have in the first place?
ReplyDeleteThey have joined Nigerian governors with owing of salaries. They should sue them and not call Buhari insider the matter,because e hasn't done anything to the governors owing salaries.
