Airtel Nigeria, one of the telecoms giants in the country has sacked some of its workers in what the company described as restructuring and right sizing.
The restructuring is part of the company’s strategic efforts to reposition the business and also reinforce its competitiveness in the market place.
A statement signed by the Director, of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR), Mr Emeka Oparah informed that restructuring that is focused on aligning the company’s structure with its operating model, also entails a right-sizing that would impact a section of their current workforce.
He stated that in accordance with best practice and standards, a robust plan had been put in place to cushion the effect of the exercise on the impacted employees and ensure that the process was without any hitch.
In his words, “One of the key objectives is to create a high performing organisation, which satisfies the needs of all of our stakeholders, especially our customers, as we step into the next growth phase of our operation.”
