I f this was meant to be a political move, I believe the reverse of the intended effect of pulling him down would be achieved. Now more sympathizers would rally around Atiku. But then, who knows if that is the intended effect. grin

Just because the export processing zone revoked INTELS license the expatriates should have their residence permits withdrawn? Is it the only job INTELS is doing?

if INTELS loses business or patronage, INTELS itself will let the expatriates go. It will not apply to renew their expatriates permits and they (expatriates) will have to leave. It's a simple process and more dignified.

I am disappointed this government is fighting this way. I sincerely thought we had left this behind. They will just attract more sympathy for Atiku.

Exactly.
Too many stoopid people in the corridors of power.

Know a bit of the facts,behind the story, before commenting its always better - the writers comments here are not hear say, it's based on experience working for some of the companies mentioned.

First off, this act is plain witch hunting PERIOD!, the present administration like those before it, are going after ( ATIKU) a perceived contender for the crown jewel of Nigerian politics, the Precidency and trust me there are already collateral damages - some hard working Nigerians are losing their jobs.

Now that we have that out of the way, ATIKU is no saint, in fact it might be a crime using the words ATIKU and saint in the
same sentence, however the way, and manner this government is playing its politics both at party level and in government tells you one thing, it's no different from the ones of the past since what we have now in the political playing field are all recycled politicians, and yet the majority of voting Nigerians all shouted CHANGE! and thought they actually voted changed, at least until reality bites. Laughable indeed.

Back to the issue at hand, ATIKU, by the way does not own intels 100%,he has some stake in that company, but the company is majorly owned and discreetly managed by Mr Gabrielle Volpi, the smart Italian billionaire who made most of his fortune from Nigeria. From the companies listed by the Nigeria Immigration that they are now hounding all of a sudden when these companies have for decades abused expats qouta, on this list by the immigrations apart from Intels, at least two others on that list I know are companies also owned by Mr Volpi and since he is a very close associate of ATIKU, so much so that Volpi is even on the board of ATIKU, Private University in Yola, it's easy to connect the dots why the government through its agencies like the NPA, and the Immigration, are now after ATIKU interest and that of Volpi by association.

For me the dou of ATIKU and Volpi should actually rot in hell, it's a classic case of how corrupt Nigerians in Government, use foreigners masquerading as investors, to steal our common wealth and Volpi and ATIKU association, business and political interests have done this now to Nigeria for close to or if not more than 25 years, right from when intels operated as NICOTES, until it grew to become the biggest logistics service provide to the oil sector, having other companies Prodeco(construction and real estate) , West african catering(oil and gas catering services , Eko support, and a host of companies, under the parent company Orleans Investment, that was misspelt in this story on NL.

So believe me when I say ATIKU is not a saint, however the axe I have to grind with this government and its gestapo, mafia like approach all of a sudden to the ATIKU, factory of investment that's been milking the nation for decades now, is that it is all based on political expediency, not because they are really after corruption or the abuse of process as now being bantered by NPA, Immigration and am sure the FRIS too will come up with something on tax evasions soon, something intels is big on, especially with VAT/WHT (there you go FIRS free info) so do your job.

In the true sense of the matter, I am confident that all these agencies of government knew all along the shadyness of these companies, but they always look the other way, or joined the party via kickbacks, at least until now that ATIKU, once again is circleling the Aso Rock nest, to lunch a take over of this most priced nest.

As much as intels, prodeco, orleans invest etc are all companies that Volpi and his ATIKU connection have used for years pilfering Nigeria's wealth smartly, for example - some of the hugely unfair contracts IOC had to sign having very higher tariff, they where practically arm twisted to signed for logistics services provided by intels at the Onne, ports and Warri ports during/after when ATIKU was the VP, the consession agreements giving intels the choicest seaports in the south - south to operate all happened when ATIKU was still in government, and when he left government we all know he has remained very powerful and influential on the corridors of power, protecting his interest in the Nigerian cake.

Well, now he wants more and the Government of the day, won't have that. So they go after him, indirectly and as they squeeze these companies, it shades offer layers of its staffs, Nigerians first, so it can stay afloat and wait this out hopefully till ATIKU contest and win, or they close shop and move their investments else where or they ditch ATIKU when the heat is too much and invite another powerful corrupt Nigeria to take up his stakes, these are their options,watch and see.

However, Nigeria will not be the better for all of these noise we are seeing today about intels or these other companies abusing the system, because, like I said, it's a witch hunt. It's not done in an honest manner to stop corruption, but it's done to put ATIKU in its place and if he backs down, he is allowed to continue with his associates to share that part of the Nigeria cake and things will be business as usual for intels and Co .

Yet as all this plays out, the pwans, which are the hard working Nigerians who unfortunately find themselves in those companies, and believe me some folks have put in over 20years of service to firms like intels, who by the way Is one of the worst paying oil services companies that provide services to the oil industry and now even with the poor pay they have endured while intels raked in millions of dollars, some of these folks are already losing their job over this fisticuffs, imagine. Corruption is hellish,so keeping Praying you are not directly or heavily a victim of its effects, even though we all are feeling the effects of corruption one way or the other.

If we had a decent and honest government, yes they should go after ATIKU, his associates and the likes of ATIKU holding various sector's of the economy and milking Nigeria, but also be mindful that these institutions or companies employ Nigerians,so they do their best to avoid or lessen any collateral damage.

Most importantly they should go after them cause it's the right thing to do, to save Nigeria from the hands of a powerful corrupt few, but it is wrong if this is all being done simply because they want to have him back off contesting the presidency and then allow the silent, smart, stealing, abuse of systems and contracts, by the likes of intels to continue,if and when he eventually backs off.

If u knew d full story u wont be saying this trash.

But i guess for diehard buhari haters it doesnt matter that one company has been siphoning all import revenues for decades. All u know is u hate buhari. Smh

These companies have not complied with the TSA rule because they are being used to launder looted monies and operate foreign accounts through these expatriates. Forget all these half baked reporting to try to whip up sentiments and build fake profile for Atiku. Atiku is no threat to PMB. Wailers be truthful for once.

The Resident Permits of Intel's expats and other companies illegally revoked will be restored. We can't kill companies and make Nigerians to be out of jobs all because of politics.

With Obasanjo and Buhari alive,Atiku can never be Nigeria president.

In the last one year Intels have placed over 50 Senior Managers on redundancy. So what business are the expatriates still doing in the Nigeria that Nigerians cannot do at cheaper personnel costs?

Revocation of the resident permit of Intels expatriates just like banning of imported rice and poultry products are steps taken in the right direction when we have a cheaper and better alternatives.
