In a move that has captured attention across Nigerias corporate and philanthropic circles, 1,706 long-serving employees of BUA Group, one of Africas largest manufacturing and industrial conglomerates, received a combined cash award of N30 billion 20.7 million . The gesture, announced at the annual BUA Night of Excellence Long Service Awards held at Eko Hotel Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos, goes beyond conventional bonuses, shining a rare spotlight on the people behind a corporate empire.
20.7 million shared across BUA workforce
Abdul Samad Rabiu, the founder and executive chairman of BUA Group, addressed the assembled workforce with a mixture of pride and gratitude. Today is a very special occasion for me, Rabiu said. We are not just celebrating long service, we are celebrating loyalty, resilience and the extraordinary power of people, because no matter how big BUA becomes, the true strength of this company has always been and will always remain its people.
