Outspoken Itsekiri female group, Voice of Warri Kingdom Women Initiative, VWKWI, has called on the management of Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL, to sack 20 Yoruba indigenes, allegedly employed to replace Itsekiris that retired from the company’s department of Warehouse.
Voice of Warri Kingdom Women Initiative, in a protest video sent to Fresh Angle International, Thursday May 7, claimed that community workers of Itsekiri extraction, who were engaged on daily payment in the same department, were told by certain officials of CNL (names withheld) to go home, on the pretext that the contract has ended, “whereas the warehouse department, is fully functional and the Yorubas purportedly engaged from Lagos, were given permanent employment.”
President of Voice of Warri Kingdom Women Initiative, Mrs. Vivian Mene, who spoke in the syndicated clip, stated: “They must return our brothers and sisters they told the contract is finished. You people (referring to the top officials of Chevron) cannot be in our land and be suffering our sons and daughters.
“You didn't call to inform that Itsekiri indigenes working in the warehouse department, retired due to age, but went ahead to employ 20 Yorubas. You must employ 20 Itsekiris in the department or get ready to leave our land.”
