Why We Laid Of 46 Staff On Labour Day —Ex-Vice President, Atiku's Firm

Gotel Communication, a media outfit owned by Nigeria's former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has explained why it sacked 46 Staff on Friday, a day set aside globally to celebrate workers. 

In a statement, the General Manager, Mohammed El-Yakub, said the staff dismissal was an outcome of Gotel's long standing company restructuring.

SaharaReporters had earlier on Friday reported that Atiku's media outfit had sacked 46 staff on Workers' Day. 

Reacting to the report, El-Yakub said, "Rationalisation of staff at Gotel Communications Limited, a company under the umbrella of Priam Group, is a culmination of the restructuring process in the companies under our group.

"The founder of companies under the Priam had announced that many of his business concerns will be aggregated under the Priam Group.

"Priam Group had embarked on a restructuring exercise which led to a merger of many companies under its umbrella.
