Huawei Nigeria sacks 100 engineers over 9mobile crisis

The crisis rocking Nigerian operator 9mobile, formerly Etisalat Nigeria, has taken a new twist as one of its key strategic partners, Huawei, has sacked over 100 Nigerian engineers of their jobs, reports telecompaper.

The workers, who said they had worked with the company for over eight years, protested over the sudden move, saying that it was done without due process. The affected workers gathered outside the premises in Abuja, carrying placards with different inscriptions, calling for their reinstatement.

Koledade Owa, chairman of Private Telecommunications and Communications Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PTECSSAN), said his members were fire via through phone calls. The PTECSSAN chairman disclosed that there was no discussion with worker representatives on the matter. He said that the affected workers were not given any severance package, adding that some of them were not paid in June.

  5. Huawei has always been biased towards nigeria workers and there was even a motion in the house of assembly to probe Them regarding their treatment of nigerians and the outsourcing of nigeria jobs to inreases, I guess now They will have a legitimate excuse about the sacking.
