CBN Workers Cry Over Sudden Dismissal. Former employees of the Central Bank of Nigeria are protesting their sudden dismissal, alleging maltreatment and injustice by the management.

The workers claimed they were not paid their entitlements before their sacking, violating the bank’s human resource rules and policy.

The mass sack affected high-level executives, including Deputy Directors and Assistant Directors, who were seasoned professionals with deep institutional knowledge.

The Director of Information Technology was overseeing crucial projects on the day of termination, including efforts to secure international information security certifications for the bank.

The statement by Paul Dekete, North Central Coordinator of the Conference of Autochthonous Ethnic Communities Development Association Youth Wing, condemned the sack, stating that it lacked transparency and a solid legal foundation.

Dekete argued that the dismissal exercise was carried out without board approval, raising serious questions about the planning and rationale behind the mass layoffs.

The workers’ union also claimed that the sack was ethnically biased, disproportionately affecting the North Central and South Eastern regions.

Reports indicate that some states saw over 80% of their executive staff removed, raising troubling questions about the bank’s commitment to national unity.

Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, has been elected as the new National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) following a unanimous decision at the Union’s Quadrennial Delegate Conference on Saturday.

Akinsanya, who was the only candidate for the position, was chosen during the election held at the NURTW Zonal Secretariat along the Osogbo/Ikirun road.

Delegates from the Southwest states—Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti—participated in the election process.

The conference, observed by the acting National President of the NURTW, Aliyu Issa-Ore, was an important moment for the Union.

In his address, Issa-Ore clarified that the Union’s constitution grants the zone responsible for filling the national president’s role the authority to elect their candidate and submit them to the national body.

Represented by Mrs. Adedamola Salam, Head of Finance at the Union’s National Headquarters in Abuja, Issa-Ore added, “The Southwest zone has fully complied with the Constitution in electing Oluomo as President.”

Akinsanya, in his remarks, extended a message of reconciliation, saying, “I have forgiven everyone who has offended me, and I hope those I have offended will forgive me as well.

This is our union, and we must be committed to preserving it. We will not allow anyone to destroy our means of livelihood.”

Additionally, Tajudeen Agbede was elected as Vice President for the Southwest, and Akeem Adeosun was chosen as a Trustee from the zone.

After taking the oath of office, Akinsanya, surrounded by family and supporters, called for unity and peace among members, pledging to work tirelessly to strengthen the Union.

Okonjo-Iweala Faces No Opposition for WTO Second Term

Published

on

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first woman and the first African to lead the World Trade Organization (WTO), is poised to secure a second term as Director-General without facing any opposition.

Norwegian Ambassador Petter Olberg, who chairs the WTO, announced on Saturday that “no further nominations for the position” had been received by the deadline on Friday, making Okonjo-Iweala the “only candidate for the role.”

The 70-year-old economist first expressed her intention to seek reappointment in September. Her current term, which began in March 2021, is set to end in August 2025.

The selection of the WTO’s Director-General is based on consensus among the organization’s 166 member countries, a process Okonjo-Iweala successfully navigated despite early challenges.

Her initial bid for the position faced resistance, particularly from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who supported a South Korean contender.

However, with President Joe Biden’s arrival in the White House, the opposition was lifted, clearing the way for her historic appointment.

Since assuming office, Okonjo-Iweala has worked to revitalize the WTO, an organization that has faced criticism for its bureaucratic inefficiencies and slow decision-making.
