Billionaire businessman and Energy Group Managing Director, Jimoh Ibrahim, was on Monday, Jan. 18, embarrassed on live TV in Abuja as his protesting unpaid workers stormed the set.

The workers invaded the venue while Ibrahim was delivering a lecture which was being aired on live on  Africa Independent Television (AIT).

Report said the angry workers, who were with a megaphone, chanted

The aggrieved employees, one of them with megaphone, chanted “all we are saying, pay us our salaries”.

Ibrahim was said to have told the employees that he has noted their grievances and pleaded with them leave the hall, but his appeal did not move the protesters.

When his plea failed to change the situation, one of the senior managers of the company, who was part of the lecture, stoop up to appease the workers to leave the venue - the move which also failed.

They were eventually dispersed by some policemen, who politely led them out of the hall.

Speaking after the protesters left, Ibrahim said the workers did not generate income for the company and they do not expected him to borrow money to pay them.
“We cannot borrow money to pay salaries", he said.

He however threatened to shut down, in December 2016, any of his companies that does not generate income to pay salaries.

However another source revealed that addressing the issue, Mr Ibrahim said he has 16 companies and only one of those companies has staff protesting lack of unpaid salaries and blamed it on the top management of the company. He said he would pay the salaries of the workers of National Mirror for five months on the condition that the MD and DMD will resign immediately after the conference.
