Private security guards attached to the National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) and who protect oil pipelines from Lokaja to Kaduna, on Thursday staged a peaceful protest against the non-payment of 22 months’ salary arrears.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the protesting workers blocked the entrance to the NNPC Depot at Awawa, Abaji Area Council, FCT and denied members of staff, petrol tankers and visitors entry.

The security guards, who are employees of MRS Limited, carried placards bearing inscriptions such as: “Pay us our 22-months salaries, “We are not slaves” and “We will block Abuja-Lokoja Road if we are not paid.”

The spokesman of the protesting workers, Alhaji Abdullahi Kaja, lamented that when they were working directly under the NNPC, they were paid as and when due and received other benefits until MRS Limited took over.

“Other security guards doing the same work at Warri, Port Harcourt and Katsina, have been paid, but we at Lokoja-Kaduna axis have not been paid.

“When we were working directly under the NNPC, our salaries were constant and we worked under good condition.


“But when MRS Limited took over, there is no provision for even torch lights, raincoats and rain boots to enable us work properly.

“All we want is our salaries paid; as well as going back to work directly under the NNPC and not MRS Limited,” Kaja said.

He urged the government to intervene in order to resolve the dispute and forestall any breakdown of law and other.

Other protesters, Muhammed Hassan and Umar Isa, told NAN that the action had exposed them to hardship and unbearable conditions.

Hassan accused the management of MRS Limited of being insensitive to their plight, alleging that the management had turned deaf ears to their demand for payment of their salaries.

When NAN sought to speak with Alhaji Sani Mohammed, the Abaji NNPC Pumping Depot manager, he declined comments on the situation.

Mohammed said MRS Limited was responsible for the security guards and was in a better position to respond or address the media.

How can Nigeria get better when the followers, the so called future leaders, cannot even read properly and understand a simple news story

When we were working directly under the NNPC, our salaries were constant and we worked under good condition.
“But when MRS Limited took over, there is no provision for even torch lights, raincoats and rain boots to enable us work properly.
“All we want is our salaries paid; as well as going back to work directly under the NNPC and not MRS Limited,” Kaja said.

Brace up for lay-off because NNPC is already on sale it is just a matter of time.

Pls read in details, contractors re not staff of NNPC, they re guards protecting the pipeline, anyway they should be paid every dime owed them ...

mosleading Headline

The headline is misleading.
Lazy Nigeria youth, they didn't read before commenting.
That's how some of them would sign letters or approve documents without reading the contents.

Wait...

Who is the minister for petroleum self?

Who mentioned buhari there?

Anyway tell him to go nnpc and fix thee problem, also tell buhari that Nigeria are not more enjoying NHIS again since his brother has embezzled all the money.

Buhari must go, Akitu is not an options.

What makes them NNPC staff? They are not on NNPC's payroll.
NNPC should prevail on the company topay their staff or lose their contract.

This are not NNPC staff

God bless u. They are blindfolded by their hatred for Buhari. Illiterates all. Just too bad.

Hmm...not NNPC staff.

HOWEVER....

They are under MRS...which if subsides were removed...would have been earning a large enough profit to pay all contract staff.

The situation with contract staff in Nigeria by the way has always been bad. Something must be done about it.

Though the head line might be misleading but there are some Nigerians that always gets happiness in bad news and that's why they rushed in typing rubbish against nation without knowing that information referring to contact staffs of NNPC.

NNPC is still responsible for their woes, as they can sanction Mrs for stealing from them. NNPC could be cutting percentage from Mrs that is affecting these people. Nigerians are simply greedy.
