Over 600 has been reportedly sacked by Mikano International Limited, Lagos, Nigeria due to COVID-19 Outbreak, PM News reports.
This came a huge shock to some Family members as their breadwinners was affected.
According to one of the affected staff, “I have just returned from a trip of delivering generators to a nearby state when I was called upon to take my sack letter.
“This is a very disturbing situation. How do I feed my family during this lockdown? I sincerely do not know what came over them on this mass sack.”
A copy of the letter sighted by our reporter from the company said after appraisal, the company felt that their services were no longer needed, and wished them luck in their future endeavour.
But expressing anger on the sudden dismissal, another staff affected by the sacked said “Which appraisal are they talking about? Look, in the next two weeks, Mikano will still employ staff, that has been their way but what is now disturbing is why this time?
“Where do I go from here, it is quite heartless of the company to render us ineffective. Rising cases of crime are everywhere, what else should I do?”
A visit to Mikano International office located at Acme Road to verify the information proved abortive, as security personnel attached to the company barred the reporter from the office.
