NUPENG issues warning to Shell, NLNG, questions proliferation of bombs, guns
Its President, Williams Akporeha, said this in a state of the nation address on Friday in Lagos.“The gross violation of Workers right reached an unfortunate head when Shell Contractors brazenly refused to implement an agreement they willingly entered into with the Workers since November 2018”, Akporeha said.
“Shell Petroleum Development Company cannot feign ignorance of the inhuman conditions Nigerians are being subjected to. These Multinational Companies are appearing so big to respect agreement and statutory provisions and institutions in the Country.
“Furthermore, the Union engaged the management of Morgreen Nig Ltd, a local content company in NLNG in collective bargaining negotiation processes and after a far reaching agreement the management flippantly refused to sign the CBA documents based on the directive of their principal . This has left the contract employees in NLNG working without any negotiated condition of service in place and with no prospect for career path.
“We wonder how explosives, bombs and high damage assault rifles gained access into our country and subsequently end up in the hands of terrorist, cultists, kidnappers, armed robbers, assassins, ritualists and other criminal elements in our society.
