Gotel Communication, the company owned by former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar, has explained that the sack of some staff of the
company was for the purpose of restructuring.
The company sacked 46 of its staff on Friday, the 2020 May
Day celebration.
But a statement signed by Gotel General Manager, Mohammed El
Yakub, explained that the rationalisation of staff at Gotel, a company under
the umbrella of Priam Group, was culmination of a rejig process.
He recalled that the founder, Atiku had announced that many
of his business concerns will be aggregated under the parent body.
Yakub noted that Priam Group embarked on a restructuring
exercise which led to a merger of many companies under its umbrella.
He said the press statement of December 24, 2019, stressed
that owing to the restructuring exercise and merger of companies, some
personnel may have to be disengaged.
”It is also not unexpected that a restructuring procedure of
this size and nature would come with some likely job rationalization
especially, since each of these entities has its own finance, admin, marketing,
HR and ancillary support operations which would now be consolidated and
undertaken at the group level”, Atiku’s spokesman, Paul Ibe, had said.
Gotel added that it will be out of context to ascribe any
mundane presupposition for being responsible for the decision to lay off some
of the workforce.
“Following the unveiling of Priam Group last year, Atiku
Abubakar, ceased to be involved in the running of the affairs of his companies.
The decisions taken so far, and especially as it relates to the rationalization
of staff, is solely a management decision.
“It needs to be restated that we shall, as a responsible
organization, discharge every obligation to the laid off staff and any other
staff that may be involved in the rationalization,” the company assured.
