The Niger Delta Youth Movement, NDYM, in Rivers State, has threatened to shut down the activities of an oil firm, Total E and P Nigeria Limited, in its oil-rich environment if the management of the company fails to recall the over 46 indigenous workers it allegedly sacked.
The group, at the weekend in Port Harcourt, while expressing worry over the level of distress which the families of the disengaged staff of the company were facing, described the attitude of the company as disrespectful and demeaning to the host communities and the Niger Delta youths.
The group said it was ready to close down the operations of the multinational oil company in Egi Kingdom, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State if the sacked workers were not recalled to take up their various posts.
The Leader of the group, Mr Major Ekene, said they had closely followed the case of the sacked 46 workers , stressing that the strategy employed by the management of Total E&P Nigeria Limited in handling the matter was ostentatious.
He said: “The youths have exhausted all avenues known to us to call the oil company to order but Total E&P’s management has remained adamant.
“We demand the immediate recall of the 46 sacked workers, the full payment of their wages for the period in view, and the immediate conversion of all community contract staff to permanent staff or we are going to close down the company in three days time.”
