NICIL says sacking of 49 Wales workers is part of transition plans

The government-run National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) yesterday said that its termination of the services of 49 workers who were employed by the company at Wales Estate is linked to the establishment of the Wales Development Authority (WDA).

NICIL provided the explanation as the agency sought to respond to concerns raised yesterday by the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) over the dismissal of the workers.

With the announcement of the composition of the WDA, NICIL said it  sought to “reorganize its operations across its varied locations.”
