Shehuyinka: IN Nigeria, neglect of workers, poor welfare and child labour have characterised the operation of Chinese-owned companies, which is contrary to labour laws, but the authorities often overlook such atrocities. Labour experts say the Nigerian government has been lenient with Chinese companies due to its financial relations with China, writes Lukman Abolade.
In October 2020, a casual worker identified as Femi died in an accident while working with a Chinese company, Xiyuan Quarry, in the Kobape area of Ogun State.
Workers in Xiyuan Quarry who knew Femi said his death could have been avoided if the company had provided him with protective equipment.
One year after his death, Xiyuan Quarry is still in operation, and other workers in the factory are without PPEs while the government looks away.
Femi was killed by one of the trucks used in conveying sand at the quarry company on a tragic Saturday of 3rd October, 2020.
He was crushed to death on his way from the residential building of the quarry when he hit his head on a stone at the quarry.
Workers of the quarry, including the Nigeria Union of Mine Workers in the state, have described Femi’s death as an avoidable accident.
- Advertisement - Many blamed the sudden death of Femi on the non-availability of a helmet that would have saved him during the accident.
Failure to provide PPEs to workers in Nigeria is contrary to the National Policy on Occupational Safety and Health of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but no one is prosecuting perpetrators.
Section 5.3 (III) of the policy states that employers are to “Provide at no cost to the worker, occupational health protection and personal protective clothing and equipment, which are appropriate for the nature of the job.”
How Chinese-owned companies violate labour laws
In January 2021, 22-year-old John Nsika joined Ding Xing Quarry as an operator on a casual work basis. Four months after, several parts of his body had various degrees of injuries after an accident while working for the company.
He had an accident while operating a popular machine in the quarry known as crusher.
Ding Xing Quarry company is located at Obafemi-Owode area of Ogun State.
- Advertisement - According to Nsika, in May, while he was working on one of the machines at Ding Xing, a big stone fell on him.
“I did not know how it happened; the stone just fell on my head, now I have injuries everywhere,” Nsika said.
Nsika’s leg was broken and he sustained injuries in different parts of his body. He said the company left him to pay the hospital bills despite this.
Nsika told The ICIR that his wage for the day was deducted on the day of the accident, and it took the intervention of the Nigeria Union of Mine Workers before his medical bill was paid.
No allowance or remuneration was paid to Nsika after the Chinese company agreed to pay the medical bill of Nsika at the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, in Abeokuta.
Weeks after Nsika had received treatment at the hospital, he is still writhing in pains. He is still unable to work properly as his leg is bandaged.
“I have been like this for weeks, and the company is not doing anything. In this place, you only earn when you work; if you don’t work, they won’t pay you,” he said.
The 22 year old blamed the accident and its severity on Ding Xing’s lack of protective equipment.
He told The ICIR that the injuries would have been minor if provided with safety equipment.
“They are not paying me anything. This accident would not have happened if we were provided with the personal protective equipment tools like a helmet,” he said.
Nsika and many Nigerians allegedly go through these challenges with Chinese operators who reportedly treat them as enslaved people.
The Nigerian law states that employers in the country are to “Provide compensations for work-related disabilities of workers and rehabilitation of such workers as reasonably practicable,” but these companies have failed to do so and no one is asking questions.
The ICIR learnt that many reported atrocities against Chinese-owned companies have been left unattended to by the authorities.
In Nigeria, workers at Chinese companies have made reports of exploitation, poor welfare, poor remuneration, and lack of provision of personal protective equipment.
Dada Adebanjo, a father of two, had been a casual worker with Ding Xing for more than two years until he had an accident in 2020 while on duty, which eventually led to losing one of his eyes.
Adebanjo said he spent over N300 000 on his left eye, but the company where he lost the sight looked unconcerned with his predicament.
Adebanjo told this reporter that the accident had occurred at the Chinese company. He claimed a small stone coming out of the crusher entered his eyes and he had since then been battling with it.
Lol… Labor law in Nigeria?? As long as you’re being paid you’re a slave to any company that hires you. If you don tire go find another work ni if it’s that easy!

AnambraStupidSon spoke without connecting his flat dried out brains
We will keep on having to tolerate the excesses they are known for and ignore them.

In any case if there’s gonna be any xenophobic attack, it will be between actual Muslims and Yoruba Muslims so stop spamming that shit all over you r.etarded potential terrorist!
What kind of old man miscreant like you troll around NL claiming to be what he's not?
Are you so bitter and ashamed of your abia village and identity?
When someone shares an opinion contrary to the foolishness you’re being paid to defend, scream ‘IPOB!!!’ at the top of your lungs and you have already won the argument. -Femi Adesina 2015
mediainc: Very dumb people here, even 10 years old kids have hugger IQ than most here, we need to keep countering them, else the world think they are a reflection of all Nigerians.

Entprys: I left my town Ilorin few mnts ago as I am travelling to Erin Ile. Inside the bus, I just open my phone to see some updates. What I saw was Nnamdi Kanu handsomely smilling in the court. I watched the video with my mouth open. I never expected to see a healthy handsome and happy nnamdi kanu. Thank God we are all yorubas in the bus, I made other passengers to watch the smilling kanu, they watched, felt bad and we(yoruba) all started crying
Edusouls: Ipob is a monumental disaster, a colossal failure and a complete disgrace to Igbos as a tribe. See the retarded terrorist they follow and call freedom fighter
Look at this afonzuzu that probably shares a room with open sewage on free basic vomiting trash. Focus on Ighogho thats fighting for his life because he was given car battery acid to drink instead of water!! Leave igbos out of your diarrhea mouth!!!
Weathered: Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB have brought more disaster and disruptions in South East than Buhari and APC combined
Tell your children the truth.
And of what concern is the South East to a marauding Northerner?? Your wastelands are almost all burial sites and you’re on NL with govt free phone vomiting dustbin on things that shouldn’t concern you!
olaszydaruma: I'm having this same thought lately as I'm in a lot of mess
Trust me... If things don’t turn out right for you this new week... A bullet to the brain will be painless! This week I promise... Be hopeful.. Be happy!!
Karlovych: Tinubu's online owomida can continue to deceive themselves regarding the criminal/fraud they are trying to sell to Nigerians. Even his minions don't like him or want to partake in his leadership.
Here is one of his hoodlums planning to ship away his family after deceiving Nigerians that the cocaine lord is the next best thing after the dullard as he will take his share of the bullion van heist (12million naira) and fling them abroad and join them when things don't go as planned under the criminal.
Nigerians be wise with your voting decision in 2023.
Deception and cowardice are the watchwords of Afonzuzu Muslims. That’s how they spearheaded the recent GMarket scam and when they ran off with people’s money they started swearing by Allah that they didn’t know what was happening.
headSmasher: Crying have started already on this thread, baby factory criminals and drug traffickers cannibals will hear it this year, their stupidity will clear from their eyes when their mkpurumiri induced brain disappear
After bashing your head in the mosque and suffering from blunt force trauma you’ll come on here and vomit dustbin. Tinubu will never be president of Nigeria, maybe president of Skulls Republic. Stop coming here to display dangerous stupidity even if you’re being paid to!
