WORRIED by continuous flouting of the Nigerian Content Act by oil companies operating in their community, the people of Iwhrekan in Ughelli South Local Government area of Delta State have tasked both the state and federal government to intervene, as they vow to fight the perceived injustice by all means possible.
.
President General of the community, Mr. Judge Dukpan, made the observation during his inaugural speech on the occasion of the swearing-in of the newly elected Executive Committee at Iwhrenkan.
.
Djukpan noted that several youths of Iwhrekan, particularly graduates who are eminently qualified to work in the oil companies operating on their land are being denied job opportunities at the Utorogun Gas Plant located in their community.
.
He alleged that since Shell handed over operations of the plant to the National Petroleum Development Company, NPDC last year, no graduate from the community has been employed as a staff in the plant.
