DEAR SIR / MADAM,
SAVE OUR SOULS
TEMPORARY STAFFS OF FEDERAL MORTGAGE BANK OF NIGERIA WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE BANK FOR MORE THAN 6 YEARS & ABOVE.
I JOINED FEDERAL MORTGAGE BANK OF NIGERIA (FMBN) 7 YEARS AGO AS A CONTRACT / TEMPORARY STAFF (WHEREAS THERE ARE SOME IN OTHER STATES OF THE FEDERATION THAT HAVE JOINED MORE THAN 8 TO 12 YEARS AGO).
UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THE ABOVE TEMPORARY STAFFS INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED SINCE (TO DATE, 2017).
IN 2013/2014 THERE WAS AN AUDIT OF THE BANK BRANCH WHERE I AM PRESENTLY, BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS FROM CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN) WHO NOTICED THE ANOMALIES IN THE REGULARISATION OF THE TEMPORARY STAFFS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THIS BASIS FOR THE PAST 3 TO 8 YEARS (ALSO IN OTHER STATES) THEN, WHICH WE BELIEVE IS AGAINST WHAT LABOUR LAW STIPULATED NO APPOINTMENT MUST BE ON TEMPORARY BASIS FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND ABOVE” (NOT TO TALK OF A FEDERAL ESTABLISHMENT LIKE FEDERAL MORTGAGE BANK OF NIGERIA).
IN 2014, THERE WAS ANOTHER (2ND) ROUTINE AUDIT CARRIED OUT BY THE ANOTHER SET OF EXTERNAL AUDITORS ALSO FROM CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA WHO AGAIN NOTICE THE ANOMALICE AND ABNORMALITY IN THE REGULARISATION AND CONFIRMATION OF THE TEMPORARY STAFFS SINCE THEIR (CBN AUDITORS) 1ST ROUTINE AUDIT.
A LETTER WAS THEN WRITTEN TO FMBN HEAD OFFICE IN ABUJA, IN RESPECT OF THIS TEMPORARY STAFFS ISSUES.
SO IN 2015, THEY (FMBN, HEAD OFFICE) WROTE A NEW LETTER TO ALL TEMPORARY STAFFS NATIONWIDE, STATING THAT THEY ARE JUST BEING EMPLOYED AS A TEMPORARY STAFF FOR A YEAR, (IGNORING THE NUMBER OF YEARS EARLIER SPENT) WHICH HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA AUDIT REPORT, WHICH MADE THEM (FMBN) LAID EMBARGO ON TAKING-IN NEW TEMPORARY STAFFS, THIS MAKE US THINK IT WILL USHER THE WAY FOR OUR REGULARISATION. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CONFIRMATION WOULD COME, WHICH WAS WHEN THE EX-MANAGING DIRECTOR IN PERSON OF MR. YAU KUMO CONFIRMED THE APPOINTMENT OF SOME TEMPORARY STAFFS IN THE NORTH WHO HAS NOT EVEN WORK FOR 3 YEARS CLAIMING STAFFS IN THOSE STATES ARE NOT GOING TO THE OFFICE REGULARLY BECAUSE OF TERRORISM GOING IN THAT PART OF NIGERIA.
SURPRISINGLY, EARLY 2016, NEW INFLUX OF TEMPORARY STAFFS WERE BEEN TAKEN, THEREBY INCREASING OUR FEAR, BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING BROUGHT IN BY TOP PEOPLE IN THE ORGANISATION (EDS, GMS, AND OTHER TOP CADRES IN THE ORGANISATION).
LATE 2016, ISSUES OF REGULARISATION WERE RAISED BUT BECAUSE OF THE NEW TEMPORARY STAFFS WHICH THE TOP PEOPLE BROUGHT, THEY DO NOT WANT THEM TO BE GIVEN LOWER CADRE WHICH IS THE AVAILABLE POSITION AT PRESENT, BUT WE THAT ARE LONG OVERDUE EVEN PREFER IT. (JUST FOR US TO ENJOY PERMANENT APPOINTMENTS BENEFITS).
SIR / MADAM, KINDLY SAVE OUR SOULS WE ARE NO MORE GETTING YOUNGER, SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES WHO ARE WORKING IN OTHER ESTABLISHMENT ARE MORE FAR AHEAD OF US. DESPITE OUR INDEPTH KNOWLEGDE OF THE JOB IN THE BANK EVEN MORE THAT SOME OF THEIR PERMANENT STAFFS.
ALSO LATE IN THAT 2016, INSTEAD OF CONFIRMING AND GIVING US OUR LETTER OF PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT / APPOINTMENT THEY ARE USING THE EXCESS MONEY REALISED UNNECESSARY ON 3 TO 4 TRAININGS AND LOANS, EVEN FOR STAFFS THAT DID NOT NEED THEM AT ALL.
DID WE OFFEND THEM? AND WHY ARE THEY TREATING US LIKE THIS? ARE WE NOT HUMAN BEINGS? AND WE ARE THE ONES DOING THE BULK PART OF THE WORK IN THE BANK.
LIKE EARLY THIS YEAR 2017 (JANUARY), THE EXCESS REALISED LAST YEAR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN EXHAUSTED ARE STILL BEEN USED FOR UNNECESSARY EARLY TRAININGS (DESPITE BUDGET NOT BEEN PASSED BY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY) FOR STAFF, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE (AS EARLY AS JANUARY).
YOU CAN GET THE FACTS AND FIGURES YOURSELF THROUGH THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS AND FACT FINDINGS.
WE EVEN LEARNT THAT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE FORMER M.D. (RICHARD ESIN) WENT TO MINISTER OF WORKS, POWER & HOUSING (BARR. BABATUNDE FASHOLA), COMPLANING THAT TEMPORARY STAFFS ARE TOO MANY, THAT THEY SHOULD BE LAID OFF (WHY?)
FOR EXAMPLE SOME OF THE BANKS INTERNAL AUDITS CARRIED OUT, HAS STATED OUR DAY OF EMPLOYMENT IN THEIR REPORTS, AND LIKEWISE ON MONTHLY RETURNS OF TEMPORARY STAFFS IN EACH STATE OFFICE BEING SENT TO THE HEAD OFFICE ON REGULAR BASIS. IT CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON OUR INDIVIDUAL I.D. CARDS.
2008, HAPPENS TO BE THE YEAR REGULARISATION WAS DONE LAST. IN 2010 THERE WAS NEW RECRUITMENT, IN WHICH WE ARE NOT BEEN CONSIDERED FOR REGULARISATION AT ALL.
WE ARE RELYING ON YOUR ABLE OFFICE TO SOLVE OUR ISSUES, MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.
THANKS.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for 50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...
