Dear Mr Kachikwu,

This is to bring to your attention the non-payment of Allowances/Stipends to IT/SIWES students at the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC).

Efforts by the students to know the cause of this delay has been futile as no HR staff of PHRC has offered any explanation and their plight has been treated with so much disdain.

Kindly look into this issue as this was supposed to be the students' feeding allowance. This is really hampering their learning process as a lot of them go hungry throughout the day even while carrying out their exhaustive engineering/administrative duties. They rely solely on the goodwill of the main staff for their meals. The consequence is that some of the girls among them may fall victims of exploitation.

The minimum requirement an institution owes its employees (Trainees alike) is to provide them transportation and feeding. PHRC has provided transport but so far has failed to provide its trainees their stipends which they are entitled to.

I believe you will look into this burning issue.

Regards,
Concerned Nigerian.

I made some calls to PHRC and confirmed this to be true. Kindly push to FP so it can get to appropriate quarters.

Bro KaGodkwu do the needful biko.
