Tinubu Sacks 300 Out Of 375 Staff In His Company

The consulting firm owned by the former
governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, seem to be enmeshed in a major
controversy.
The company, Alpha-Beta Consulting
Limited is already facing the prospect of
being picketed by the Association of
Senior Staff of Bank and Financial
Institutions (ASSBIFI) after the
management sacked 300 workers in one
fell swoop.
The company’s total staff strength is
about 375. Daily Trust gathered that the
staff were sacked because they wanted to
form a union in order to send a message
to the management of the company.
The ASSBIFI’s officials visited the
premises of the company as early as
7.am yesterday, June 23, in a protest,
while displaying placards and criticising
the action of the company’s
management.
Some of the inscriptions on the placards
were, “Alpha Beta is a lawless
organization,” “Injustice to humanity
must stop.”
Tinubu is currently facing a major
political battle in his party, All
Progressives Congress as his preferred
candidates in the National Assembly
elections endorsed by the party were
defeated recently.
Meanwhile, Tinubu has ordered the
newly elected officials to apologise to
him via newspapers in order to pacify
him.
