According to reports on The Punch, NNPC disengaged the services of these workers who were employed on contract basis by five contracting agencies.
Kennie Obateru, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC said the corporation was working to revive the refineries and make them deliver at least 90 per cent of their refining capacities.
He explained that......
“The people concerned are not our direct staff. We have contractors who supply us labour, they could be 10, 20 or more and they are just engaged for the period for which their services are needed. It could be one or two months, but usually not more than three months.
“So the contractor supplies the workers. But from what we have seen, our experience is that because a contractor is used to working with some people, each time we ask for supply, he uses some of these persons repeatedly.”

*This is not funny at all...More families will feel the pinch.
Kai! God help us
ReplyDeleteWhy contract staff? Why not full staff. They pay well to full staff and the money can employ 400 contract staff.

DeleteAm very sorry darling. GOD will bring a better one ok
DeleteThese NNPC people will just waste people's lives all in the name of contract workers. They pay very low too for an oil company. I know a Nurse in their clinic in Warri and the pay is like 77K per month, shameful; and all with the hopes of being converted. Only for them to crush people's hope in this corona period, that is cold.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad😣
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Dear. Don't worry. God got your back
