The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says it will collaborate with the Federal Government to stop out-sourcing of jobs in the telecom sector, among others.

Mr Ayuba Wabba, the NLC President, said this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.“In this New Year, we shall work with the relevant arms and agencies of government to checkmate and halt the practices of multinational corporations especially in the Telecommunication, and Oil and Gas Sectors.

He said they contribute to the economic crisis in the country by their new habit of out-scouring of jobs Nigerians can do to new destinations in Asia, especially Dubai and India,’’ he said.

He said there were reports that Ericsson Nigeria, local subsidiary of the Global Telecommunication Solution Provider, had disengaged all Nigerian staff in its Network Operating Centres and transferred its operation to India.

Wabba noted that Ericsson Nigeria had in the last few years managed the MTN Network from among its Nigerian staff.

“Now, in the name of off-shoring, Indian workers are being brought to understudy their Nigerian counterparts, and thereafter these jobs monitoring MTN and other Telecommunication Networks are then transferred to India.

“These have huge implications for our national security, in addition to the fact that jobs that Nigerians are competent in are being moved out of the country.

“As the unfolding cyber controversy between the USA and Russia is unfolding, with the network operating centres moved out of the country we can be easily be shut out from the rest of the world without our being able to do anything about it,’’ Wabba said.

However, the labour leader said the experience over Boko Haram and the SIM registration controversy with MTN clearly illustrated the inherent danger to Nigerian’s national security interest of the move by these multinationals.

He said that HUAWEI, a telecommunication giant, was responsible for managing about 75 per cent of network operating centres such as Etisalat, Airtel, part of GLO and part of MTN network operating centres in Nigeria.

“They have also commenced the knowledge transfer from Nigerian engineers to their Indian counterparts preparatory to also moving their operations to India.

“We will work with the relevant committees of the National Assembly, ministries and agencies to protect our national interest.

“We will be leading national campaigns against these practices in the Telecom and Oil and Gas sectors in this New Year,’’ he assured.

Wabba said that the affected multinationals must be made to understand that they would not be allowed uninhibited access to making millions of dollars off Nigeria as a nation without contributing to creating jobs.

He said that there must be costs to every multinational decision to take the livelihood of Nigerian workers to other shores.

“We need the understanding, support and cooperation of government and its agencies in this fight to keep these jobs in the country,’’ he said.

You dey mind them

They're indeed toothless dogs, they can only bark but can't bite!

This is long overdue!

NLC still needs to partner with EFCC and Immigration to fish out those garlic smelling creatures without work permit and the latter fishing out the Nigerians in the immigration department accepting bribes from these aliens to operate without work permit.

As for the Ericsson, I was a victim.

Nice Collabo

Which faction is talking

It's a good idea if they are for real.... But this is most likely another episode of chop I chop as usual. You can't trust these labour people at all, they have shown over time that they are only after their own personal enrichment.

Good one.

Segadem:
...is there

Lolz

They have come again to kill the Nigerian telecoms industry just like they killed Nitel

Nice one by the NLC n FG, I just hope they fight it right.

Indian juju, destroying the telecoms industry. The banks will fall next.

If they like they should be scientific about it, I don't care . Who no know go know.

I hope it materialize because the workers are just being treated as slaves especially by all these so-called Indian firms....
This year will surely be better for those that want the good of this country
