Mike Akpan
Mike Akpan worked for nearly a decade as a contract staff member at NITEL, where he was responsible for maintaining telephone lines and ensuring customer satisfaction. However, just seven months after the company's privatisation, he was unceremoniously dismissed without formal notice, reflecting the harsh realities faced by many workers in the sector. While the telecommunications industry grew, Akpan felt forgotten and discarded, as he and his colleagues who laid the foundation of service delivery were left without support or compensation. His experience underscores the challenges of job security and the marginalisation of workers in Nigeria's privatisation landscape.
