The company, Alpha-Beta
Consulting Limited owned by the former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, is 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.
