Oil Workers Protest Non-payment Of Salaries

Workers of the Sea Wolf Oil Field Services have staged a protest to demand payment for a back log of their salaries, covering the past 22 months.

The oil workers, who were at the office of the Asset Management Corporation, said that the situation has led to the death and hospitalisation of some of their colleagues.

Trouble started in 2011, when the Asset Management Corporation took over the asset and liabilities of their company.

They are demanding that the management of the corporation ensure the payment of their salaries.

They promised not to leave the vicinity of the corporation until their demands were met, as they had made their demands known for over nine days.

When contacted, officials of the Asset Management Company in Abuja refused to comment on the workers claims.
