Hard times for the oil and gas industry. Iran is also going to make it even harder. |

Do nigerians really benefit from these foreign oil companies operating in Nigeria? I don't think so. |

Very sad  especially for older employees who are above 45. Finding another job may be hard because of age. Meanwhile some are at the Peak of their lives, their kids at University 1 Like |

Boss13: Why? What role has Iran got to play in this situation? |

They're trying to reduce cost as a result of the dwindling oil prices. At this point your degree and level of experience also matters. Those mainly affected by this mainly affected by this are those who used back door entry into Shell and those who are long overdue for retirement. I'm a Shell staff and I was not affected by the sack. I'm a Master's degree holder from University of Saskatchewan and those of us with foreign degrees are given preferential treatment from Shell and other oil companies in Nigeria. So some of you here on nairaland should talking trash and peddling mumbo jumbo about those of us with a Master's degree. I hate inferiority complex. 3 Likes 1 Share |

airroseice: dont mind them jare. people be screaming 'iran' 'iran'. what they fail to realise is that the sanctions against Iran are yet to be lifted and companies are still prohibited from dealing with iranian entities. besides, with the pressure from Isreal, the US congress might not approve Obama's move at lifting the sanctions against Iran. that said, Obama has the most useless foreign policies ever !!!!! 1 Like |

Is there still hope for some of us (the future generation of Engineers) .Yes. I believe fall in oil prices is a temporal occurance and in no sooner time the prices will still rise. |

excusemyfrench:you are right to an extent. But if U re a contract staff you re likely to be affected. Shell doesn't value the CS. 1 Like |

sirugos:I know that bro. Contract staffs were also affected heavily but it's not the way most people see it. They're adequately compensated before their contract is terminated. I entered Shell through my pops influence. I did my Masters degree in Canada as soon I finished my service and by the special grace of God pops used his influence there to bring me in. He still had like 9years there before he retires. I had a job offer in Canada in an oil company too bit I decided to come back home. 1 Like |

Ralphlauren: Thank you. Sensational reporting at its best. It is not specific to Shell Nigeria. Also, majority of the cuts have been done already (North Sea, divestments etc) rather than planned. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Boss13: The problem is not for the oil and gas industry only but Nigeria as a whole. Unfortunately Buhari has set no direction for the economy and the delays so far has injected higher uncertainty in the business environment. Expect service companies to shed more staff cos there is nothing to service. The question is what is the government-s direction? |

Not suprised at all. My cousin in the UK who also worked for an oil and gas company lost her job due to downsizing 2 months back. But at least they paid her 6 months full salary as she was leaving. 1 Like |

175:it's the spend drifts in shell who will be depressed. Many of their workers been overpaid, spend their salaries and allowances as if tomorrow will never come. Let them come out and feel the heat on the sidewalk of the street, start and run their owns businesses, employ people, pay salaries etc. Be informed that most of them will be given severance pay not less than #10million Don't cry for Argentina 2 Likes |
