I wish to once again draw the attention of all Itsekiri Graduates worldwides to the above subject matter.
It is pertinent to state that The National Association of Itsekiri Graduates (NAIG), in conjuction with Ijaw Graduates -KOMBOT, Ilaje Graduates (NAIG) have done everything humanly possible to avoid this issue getting to this stage but Chevron will not bulge.
We have written at least fifteen letters to all relevant Government bodies - namely the Presidency, Senate, Directorate of State Security (DSS), Nigerian Police, Army, Nigeria Navy, The Member representing Delta South Senatorial District - Sen. James Manager, Member Representing Warri Federal Constituency - Hon. Daniel Reyenieju, Member Representing Warri South- West in the Delta State House of Assembly - Hon. Daniel Mayuku, etc.
We have had at least over ten meetings with Chevron Nigeria Limited, DSS, NIGERIA NAVY, and Representatives of The Delta State Government.
Chevron has consistently maintained that the trainees are privileged to be with them.
They will only regularise when situation improves.
It should be noted that this training program is the only means through which graduates of Host communities to Chevron have been gainfully employed for over ten years.
The trainees are only employed as TECHNICIANS.
Recruitment into other departments in Chevron such has Human Resources, Engineering, Legal, Marine, etc. have been impossible within this period yet they employ other Nigerians that are not as qualified as our graduates into these departments.
