Prisoners From Foreign Lands Are Working At Construction Sites In Nigeria – Senate Panel

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, Adams Oshiomhole, has stated that prisoners from foreign countries are being ferried into Nigeria to work at construction sites.

He made the claim when the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, appeared before the National Assembly Joint Committees on Interior for a budget defense on Wednesday, December 6.

“Your ministry needs to regulate the issuance of the quotas very well as I have it on good authority that prisoners from foreign lands are working in Nigeria as construction workers,” Oshiomhole told the minister.

He said though it was heartwarming that the ministry surpassed its revenue targets on the issuance of expatriate quotas, the policy was giving room for expatriates to steal jobs meant for Nigerians in Nigeria.

“Many non-Nigerians are in the country, some of them live inside containers. They were being paid according to their country’s minimum wage by the construction industry that brought them. I don’t want to mention the companies’ names, but if I’m provoked, I’ll mention them.”

Responding, Tunji-Ojo said his ministry had already come up with the Expatriate Employee Network aimed at safeguarding jobs meant for Nigerians from being stolen by expatriates

No evidence.
How can Nigeria have information on foreigners when Nigeria does not have data base of it own citizen.
Na so some personel japa from north east while the command declare them killed by boko haram and buried empty coffin.

60% of Asians /Chinese construction workers are prisoners..

Not new.. they go back after serving.. Africa Na dia prison

Ok

Hehehe.

Just imagine.

Our leaders are funny,you don't want to mention names. You should as a matter of urgency mention those name so that actions will be taken. If you don't it will remain business as usual.

Nigerian politicians got nothing on patriotism. You will rather prefer our youths to remain jobless,than expose the big men behind these situation.

Shameless youths fighting for politicians,you can now see it. They care more about protecting the image of their fellow looters,than you people.

Interesting claim

Sighs.

Okay

Of course Chinese construction companies been doing that for years....

Yet he is making noise and wouldn't mention any name

In Nigeria, the people who are supposed to be in prison are in Aso Rock and others are party chairmen..

A lot of these Chinese workers in Nigeria are convicts still serving their jail times.

What the Chinese government does is to send convicts who are of good to developing countries like Nigeria to complete their jail times.

Welcome to naija where anything can happen

There's plenty of Chinese prisoners working in construction sites in Nigeria. In fact,one usually tells one of my friends who works with construction company. The Nigerian workers even calls them master and they don't even know the work.

Chinese firms especially.

It’s not funny, the work that our graduate will be glad to do is given to prisoners as punishment.

So foreigners also see this country as where they can use to punish their prisoners

Racoon:

They are not fugitives.

They are convicts sent by Chinese programs to complete their jail times by working in Nigeria and other developing countries.
