The message Chris Ngige delivered to ExxonMobil loud and clear is that it does not have to be subject to Nigerian laws. It can operate here in Nigeria as a law unto itself. It is unfortunate that a serving Minister in Nigeria has joined forces with a foreign firm (Mobil) to deny Nigerians of our deserved benefits. The collaboration of the Minister and Mobil is certainly that of corruption. President Buhari’s avowed stance against corruption must be brought to the fore here! - Femi Aribisala

Perfect assertion. We have not applied to work for the Ministry of Labour. We - The Security Workforce of ExxonMobil Nigeria applied to work for Mobil Producing Nigeria(before the merger) and were directly employed by MPN; there was no third party interference in this matter. Mobil sought to transfer our employment to the Nigeria Police which we resisted and went to Court for protection.
