The NEC of Pengassan in a newspaper publication had direceted that the management of Ciscon led by the trio of Mr. SHAWLEY COKER - MD , Mr.YOMI ORENUGA AND SR. JOE EJEDAWE to pay their staff over 8months salaries in arrears and also to remit over 3years of Pension and tax being deducted from staff salary.


Ciscon began having industrial issues when the M.D. decided to slash the terms of service and backdate it by 4years. This move that woukd have cost the staff over 60% of their earned benefit was rejected by staff who asked that money earned should be paid while the terms reviewed moving forward.

The M.D. however insisted he cannot afford to pay staff their earned terminal benefits yet could afford to acquired other companies and real estate worth over 5 times the staff terminal benefits.

The M.D. declared war on the staff and sacked staff who were working in his rigs at the time. He is quoted to have declared that starvation is a weapon of war and as such salaries have not being paid for over 6 months.

Mr. Shawley Coker has signed several Communique with the union but has consistently failed to keep up his end of the bargain.

The latest directive by the PENGASSON Nec is yet to be complied with.
