Citi Business News\u00a0<\/strong>has gathered that some workers of Airtel and Tigo, are voluntarily leaving the merged entity after the regulator; the National Communications Authority(NCA), approved the merger.<\/p>\n

On October 13, 2017, the Managing Director of Tigo, Roshi Motman, was named as the new CEO of\u00a0 the merged\u00a0 entity, following the resignation of the MD of Airtel, Lucy Quist<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”AHI4n7DalPzxuJw6Wc6D57fHn8BwcFh1″]Even though the merged entity is yet to come out with a new directive on the number of workers that will be retained, some have begun making moves to exit the entity.<\/p>\n

According to them, the new entity has created a situation that may require one person occupying some top management positions even though the two companies already have people in those positions.<\/p>\n

For example, it was known that the merged entity will have one Chief Executive Officer, hence the exit of the CEO of Airtel , Madam Lucy Quist.<\/p>\n

The situation is expected to run through the top management positions of the new entity.<\/p>\n

Labour Expert, Austin Gamey, believes the need to cut down on the workforce may be due to new strategies.<\/p>\n

All over the world, mergers and takeovers among business entities have brought some level of restructuring that have left some workers losing their jobs.<\/p>\n

On August 3rd\u00a02008, global telecom company Vodafone, acquired 70 percent stake in Ghana telecom.<\/p>\n

The move resulted in a massive restructuring that left some workers being laid off, but made the company much stronger and more profitable.<\/p>\n
