 The National Industrial Court, sitting in Lagos, could not hold hearing on the case between Jai Vatengashi versus Stako Insurance Company. Mr Jai Vatengashi, a former employee of the company, had approached the industrial court to seek redress over the refusal of the company to pay off his entitlements and benefits. When the case was called for hearing, it was discovered that the defendant was not in court, but the Clement and his councils were present. The 30th Declement told the court that the defendant was served a notice of hearing on the 7th of June. She prayed to the court that the matter be referred to a letter date, just as Erwong granted the request and adjourned the case to 21st of February 2023 for further hearing. We are the last adjourned dates. The case came up for mention, so it was adjourned for the mention today. So since we just wait for the decision of the court, the matter has been adjourned for hearing, so hopefully the defendants, if they appear in court the next day, will just make progress on the matter and we hope they appear. They have not filed anything like the judge said and we hope and we are praying that they don't slip on their rights and we actually want them to come and defend the matter if they meet fees to defend and we are not opposed to them coming to court. I was in the employment of Staku Insurance PLC for about 15 years and I decided to resign my appointment with them. To my surprise, when I asked for my entitlements, they now told me that I am indebted to the company which came to me as a surprise. Their claim is considered spurious by me and they are saying that I am the one owing rather than they owing me and this is why I chose to come to court, having written several letters and reminded us to them which fell on deaf ears. I feel very bad, I am not happy at all, I am aggrieved and that is why I am here with you so as to see if this will quicken issues.
