Ranka dai dai Alhaji and every other member of Dangote group top management.
This
has become a necessity because of the deplorable state of dangote
integrated steel osogbo (formerly osogbo steel rolling company) and her
members of staff.
You already know the history of the company and
the huge economic challenges it is battling owing to the deplorable
state of the Nigerian steel sector and economy. We also know that you
are a very generous and kind hearted soul. And that you do not know most
of the things that happen here, and that's why we have to use this
medium to call your attention fully to our side.
The welfare
state of your members of staff in Osogbo is nothing to write home about.
We understand that we are not yet producing and adding to your fortune.
But we are dieing both morally and physically because the state we are
now in. Imagine men with families and dependents taking 15,000 to 20,000
naira as salary in this present day Nigeria and how their lives look
like. And it has been like that since December,2005 you acquired this
company with no increments, no confirmations and no promotions. Yet the
prices of fuel, food, accommodation, school fees and other necessities
continue to rise everyday. Now your Osogbo staff are the biggest chronic
debtors to the group co-operative unit and other money lending outfits
in Osogbo. We are living in shame and poverty.
The popular answer
to our questions is that we are not producing but it is not our fault.
The group knows the quality of staff you have here that why the Dangote
Academy training school is currently located here pending when the new
one in Obajana will take off. The Academy trainers do not have access to
standard training materials any longer and yet they strive to churn out
good quality employees for the group even on empty stomach. The little
money paid to them to take care of the stress of preparing and rendering
lectures had been stopped since last year and when they asked, they
were told that that the company pays their salary (peanuts). They are
currently living with a situation whereby the trainees receive bigger
pay and attention than the trainers even when some of the trainees still
do not get to become your employees. Is it supposed to be like that?
Most
of us were trained in Germany by the FG and are champions in our
fields. We proved that when we were taken to your cement plants in
Obajana and Ibese to help stabilise production pending the commissioning
of new production lines and continue to prove that on our day to day
activities here in DISC. So if we are not productive in Osogbo, we can
help out the group by being productive in other productive sister
companies. We plead you to look into it because redundancy is not a good
thing at all and it is not our making.
Also, we are currently
working in very unsafe conditions. Things like no safety PPEs, abundance
of dangerous animals(scorpions,snakes etc) and some bad management
decisions. As at the day of this write-up (8/06/15), we are yet to be
paid our May salary and when we complained to the management, we were
told to endure that after all Osun state civil service have not been
paid for eight months now. There are months that we do not receive
salary until 20th to 27th of the following month. The question now is,
are we working for the state government or the most benevolent richest
blackman on earth?
There are so many things to tell you, sir. And
we will continue to strive to get your attention on those matters (the
deplorable state of the world class equipment on ground, welfare, bad
management decisions etc).
Please Sir, we are working for you and not for the ogas and indians. Kindly come to our aid, we do not know what else to do.
May
Allah in His infinite benevolence, continue to bless, prosper and grant
you all your heart desires. We are earnestly looking forward to hearing
from you.
