Earlier this month, some
members of staff of Daar Communications Plc, owners of African Independent
Television, AIT, and RayPower FM Radio shut down all broadcasting activities at
the organization’s Benin station in protest over unpaid salary arrears
stretching over a year.
The management of Raymond
Dokpesi’s Africa Independent Television (AIT) has allegedly fired ALL workers
in its Benin station. The workers had recently protested the non-payment of
their over one year salary.
This sack adds to the fast rising number of workers
fired within the last few weeks by various private establishments in Nigeria.
The Nation reports that the
management’s decision was conveyed in a letter dated 2nd June, 2016 and signed
by Mr Victor Okasoga, Senior Manager in charge of Human Resources.
The same letter has also
directed that all those affected should handover all company properties in
their possession, especially their identity cards to the Head of Center.
“Failure to surrender
company properties in your possession may delay the processing of your
entitlements,” the letter reportedly contained.
