IYC Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plan to Sack 1,703 Workers


IJAW Youth Council, IYC, Western Zone, has raised an alarm over alleged plan by Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL,  to throw 1,703 workers, classified as contract staff, into the unemployment market, in utter disregard to the Local Content Act.

The group, which threw its weight behind KOMBOT, a body of unemployed graduates from Gbaramatu and Egbema kingdoms in Delta State that gave CNL a seven-day ultimatum to provide them with jobs, last week, said the company would face disruption of its operations if it treated the demand with levity. The seven-day ultimatum by KOMBOT expires today.
