The Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) Ob-Ob Gas Plant located along
Obrikom in Omoku, the headquarters of Ogba/ Egbema/Ndoni Local
Government Area of Rivers State have been shut down.
The facility was shut down by angry youths in the area.
According to Daily Post, the irate youths reportedly blocked the
entrance to the facility at about 6:00am Wednesday, thereby crippling
business activities at the Italian multinational oil outfit.
Vice President of the youth’s association, Emeka Agbaere, who
confirmed the incident to newsmen, said the action became imperative
following the insensitivity of the management to their memorandum of
understanding (MoU).
Agbaere said the group had written several letters and reminders to the management of the company without receiving any reply.
The youth leader recalled that after banning the association seven
years ago by the administration of former governor Chibuike Amaechi,
Governor Nyesom Wike lifted the ban in February 2016.
He said the association had written the management of Agip
informing them that they had been permitted to continue their
activities in the area, but received no response from the company.
“We wrote several letters to Agip to recognise the group after
the ban was lifted by the current administration. There was no reply to
that effect, until we managed to shake them before the management
listened to us on April 26 this year. Another meeting was scheduled for
June 17. We met with the general manager, but nothing has come out of
the agreement till date”, he said.
Agbaere vowed that there would not be room for dialogue, until the company had commenced implementation of outstanding MoU.
