What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Former KenolKobil Managing Director David Ohana has won a reprieve in his suit against his former employer over unfair termination following the firm’s Sh35 billion acquisition by Rubis Energie in 2019.

The Employment and Labour Relations Court recently ruled that the oil marketer unfairly sacked Mr Ohana and is liable to pay him Sh34.6 million in compensation.

“The Court inevitably concludes that the termination of the claimant’s service was unfair on account of failure by the respondent to prove that the reasons for termination were valid and fair,” stated the court in its judgment in part.

Mr Ohana was appointed the Group Managing Director of KenolKobil in 2014 for a three-year term, which was renewed in 2017 up to December 2019.

In March 2019, French Oil firm Rubis Energie acquired the firm and three months later Mr Ohana was placed on suspension and issued with a show-cause letter based on alleged non-performance as Group MD.
