SAHCOL sacks 150 workers
No fewer than 150
workers of Skyways Aviation Handling Company (SAHCOL), Lagos, were on
Thursday sacked, Isaac Orolugbagbe, the managing director, announced.
This is coming
after the recent sack of the company’s immediate past managing
director, Chike Ogeah, and some workers after the new owners, Sifax
Group, took over.
The Bureau of
Public Enterprises (BPE) had in 2009 sold SAHCOL, the only subsidiary
of the defunct national carrier, Nigeria Airways, to Skyways, with a
six-month ultimatum to settle labour-related issues.
Speaking with
journalists at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Mr.
Orolugbagbe said the sack was part of the ongoing restructuring of the
company, noting that those sacked were workers who had “bad records”
and who had served for over 25 years.
“The new management
inherited an over-bloated staff after acquiring SAHCOL, and it is not
possible for us to continue with the large number,” he said.
