Some
trainees of Chevron Nigeria Limited have protested against what they described
as enslavement by the management of the company.
The men and women, who marched on
the Lekki-Ajah Expressway, Lagos, alleged that Chevron wasted more than five
years of their lives by promising them jobs which they never got.
They also
alleged that instead of being employed, they got training contracts, adding
that the action was against labour laws of the country.
Punch
Metro was
told that the trainees were from the Escravos Gas to Liquid Plant and other
Chevron field operations in the Niger Delta.
Punch
correspondent gathered that about 30 of the 151 affected trainees were First
Class graduates, while others reportedly left their executive positions in
other companies to join Chevron after scaling the highly competitive selection
process.
One of the
protesters, Okunufa Mandy, said they were mobilised in 2013.
