 2027: NDC inaugurates presidential campaign council October 20 The Nigeria Democratic Congress has fixed October 20 for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections, with its national chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, insisting that the party remains united behind its presidential ticket.

 Oil and gas: PENGASSAN decries high influx of Indian expatriates into Nigeria


The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), has queried a high influx of Indian expatriates in the oil and gas industry in the country.


NAN reports that Mr Festus Osifo, PENGASSAN’s President, said this at the closing of the 3rd edition of the three-day Energy and Labour Summit in Abuja on Friday.


The theme of the summit is: “The Future of Nigeria’s Oil and Gas Industry: Energy Mix, Energy Security, Artificial Intelligence, Divestment, and Crude Oil Theft”.


Osifo said that the increasing dominance of expatriates, particularly Indian nationals in the sector was alarming.


“They are taking over low-level jobs, which is a blatant abuse of the expatriate quota system.


“In Sterling Oil today, it will amaze you to discover that we have more Indians working there compared to the number of Nigerians.


“In fact, up to vulcanizers, you have Indians carrying out such low jobs and functions in all their plants as operators and some are even gate keeping operators,” he said.


Osifo said that the union has been engaging the Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board(NCDMB) to address the issue but to no avail.


According to him, “Today Nigerians are looking for jobs, our graduates who are out of the universities are looking for work to do.


“But we keep granting expatriate quota to these Indian companies and they have abused it,” he said.


He alleged that the companies have manipulated the system by registering numerous Shell companies to facilitate the influx of expatriates.


He said that they have registered over 200 companies to perpetrate the act.


“When they are bringing in 10 Indians, they will use one company. Tomorrow, when they are bringing in another 20, they will use another company.


“So, if you check, you will discover that over 100 or 200 companies registered spread these Indians across the board,” Osifo said.


He said that PENGASSAN had engaged in extensive stakeholder discussions over the past two years to address the issue without result.


“What is left for us might probably be confrontation. We are fully prepared because we cannot be slaves in Nigeria.


“Nigeria’s oil resources belong to Nigerians and it should benefit them first and foremost. It doesn’t belong to Sterling or any other,” he said.
