and staff of Oil and Gas giant ExxonMobi

 

W find orkers union and staff of Oil and Gas giant ExxonMobil have shut down operation at the firm’s Lagos headquarters over the unjust sacking of 860 spy police without entitlement.

The sacked workers who are all Nigerian house s were said to have worked for the company for over 22 years and we laid-off without regards for the rule of law.

Mr Rasak Obe, the Chairman of ExxonMobil Branch of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Associa business tion of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that they embarked on the protest to express the disaffection of the workers with the management.

He said, they are surprised over the sack of the security personnel who have faifthfully served the company for years and therefore urged the management to immediately reinstate them and pay all their entitlements.
Continuing Obe added that the 16 employees purportedly sacked in Dec. 2016 in a similar fashion, should be called back.

Further more, he called on the company to immediately sack and repatriate over 20 expatriate in the security department, he said the company engaged and kept them in its employ against the extant Nigerian laws and security directives.

While citing the situation as unfortunate, he said the Supreme Court of Nigeria had already corrected the situation with its April 20, 2018 judgment of 508 personnel.

“This underscored the scale of error in company’s assessment of the reality after the Supreme Court judgment.

“There are tens more who by the judgment are active employees of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited.

“To say the least, this wholesale sack unambiguously conveys management’s disdain for the highest court of the country and mocks its ruling on subject.

Obe described the sack of the Nigerians and replacing them with expatriates by the Company as discriminately, owing to the fact that Nigerians have successfully performed on the job over the decades.

He said expatriate security personnel, many of whom were ex-service men, were currently engaged in the security department against the directives of National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) and the Nigerian Defence Ministry.
