‘’It is no gainsaying that Nigerian workers are stressed, harassed, traumatized and burnt-out. Just imagine what we all went through during the currency exchange exercise. Think of the emotional and psychological torture the average worker must have experienced. That should tell us as a nation that we need to begin to promote the health and wellness of our employees’’.
