May Day signals joblessness for Nigerians as coronavirus hits harder - Daily Post Nigeria

May Day also known as Workers’ Day is marked on the 1st day of the month all over the world. But not much to celebrate this year 2020 amid the coronavirus crisis. That gloom pervades most countries is no news and the situation isn’t looking good.it will ensure that people retain their employment. But it would only be wishful thinking to say citizens, especially in the private sector, will not be hit by the effect of the ravaging disease.

It was gathered that companies handled April salaries of staff in three ways. The first category paid in full; the second paid half while the third did not pay at all. Do you blame them? Many companies recorded zero or a meagre income and thus, cannot fulfill obligations to staff. It’s as simple as the word.

Although hers was “unpaid leave”, meaning she remains a staff and could be recalled after the COVID-19 crisis, some others have been sacked outrightly. Letters have been dispatched to workers via email or logistics company. We are looking at a problem where some will consider suicide; depression will set in; those in debt will sell properties; marriages will crash; companies will struggle big time.

It will be out of callousness for any organizations to cause job-pandemics
