Troubled multi-billion naira enterprise with cerebral lawyer, Wale Babalakin as Managing Director, Bi- Courtney is facing fresh troubles from an unexpected and grave quarter- one of it’s major cashflow is currently

threatened with a sharp drop in revenue due to loss of experienced hands.

Sources divulged that Muritala Muhammed International Airport 2, the government facility currently in care of Bi Courtney is presently afflicted with a high number of resignations of key personnel.

And for an enterprise that serves as the cushion for the protracted debt recovery battles of it parent company from creditors seeking to sell off the mega business to recoup borrowed funds- this development is tagged very alarming by observers.

Information made available to www.societynowng.com revealed that as at less count not less that fifteen strategic numbers of staff have divorced themselves from employment at MMA2

According to informants among those that have left the place are former COO ( Chief Operating Officer), Jerome Marhinho; Adejare Ayodele, Lilian Obinna Igwe, Mike Laleye, Iyadunni Cole, Yomi Ogunkoya, Olaitan Abioye (all of the sales and commercial team); Okuyiga(operations) , Majekodunmi, Biodun Usman, M.K Balogun(Facility/property), Regina Bob-Igwe (IT), Amina Saleh-Jambo(customer service),Segun Ogunjimi, Baba Runwase(Finance) and Joy Anyinma(audit),

Sources analysed that the exit of these key staffers has left a void that is gradually affecting management and provision of services at the place.

But how did things get so bad? www.societynowng.com investigation revealed that the problem of the organisation is internally orchestrated.

Findings revealed that all those that resigned share something in common- they had issues with the Managing Director, Idunnu Oyebolu.

Informants claimed the ex employees were not comfortable with her management style, especially as regards interacting with staff.

Maintained a source ‘The definition for her managerial style is domineering, she wants things done her way even in field’s she’s not an expert and the core professionals. Aside that her attitude bothers on the haughty side..she relates in this upsetting manner even Dr Babalakin as the overall helms man doesn’t ’

Informants claimed the professionals weren’t ready to put up with that kind of treatment; hence the mass resignation and threats of more to come.

Explained a source ‘ the staffers are not happy with her style across board, that is those that know there job and are not holding on to it simple because of office politics that promotes incompetency’

Elaborating further another source divulged’ the resignation of the top managers has naturally created a vacuum to be filled and this is being done by Idunnu by putting new staff with little or no experience about the job but are willing and ready to do her bidding without question’

Naturally informants divulged that this has started a slow and gradually becoming visible drop in quality service. And also rear up another monster, a band of Idunnu loyalist are growing and with it the confidence to challenge the authority of the experts at whim!

Among the signs of business unusual at the Airport are said to be the exit of a couple of tenants and advertisers frequent users are familiar with.

Strangely the origin of the growing decay, Idunnu Oyebolu comes from a good stock of business managers, her father is the late Chief Odulate, the producer of Alabukun and founder of the Kuramo Group.

Said to hold an impressive academic qualification, Idunnu joined the Resort International- another of Babalakin’s businesses- as a project Director 5 yrs ago. Her reign reportedly came to an end when all the projects she was handling got stalled & none saw the light of day as she was unable to translate all her project management skills into project execution.

Insiders alleged the projects are still stalled- or moribund at press time.

However what many are striving hard to work out is why Dr Wale Babalakin appointed someone with such pedigree in his organsition to oversee such a vital outpost to see operations.
