The recent dismissal of over 30 oil workers of Lamnalco Nigeria Limited in the past six months has caused a rift between the company and a militant group in the Niger Delta region,Coastal Revolutionary Forces, CRF. The recently fired workers include Capt. James Yangaboi, Victor Urevbu, Benard Amadi, Canbi Opeme, chairman, secretary and treasurer respectively of Lamnalco branch of NUPENG, Dennis Zifa and Nelson Usilo.
It was said that some of the workers were sacked for failing alcohol and drug tests.
An angry worker said: “We are surprised, Lamnalco’s vessels are not known to have experienced mishaps, arising from drug or alcohol in-take by captains and crew members.”
It was learnt that officials of two industrial unions, NUPENG and PENGASSAN, were fuming over the development.
