Condemning the role of the International Oil Companies in the removal of subsidy, the workers argued that Nigerian workers must not be treated as slaves in their own Country.

The workers displayed placards agitating that the management of the Oil Multi-national oil company should stop their racism and provide palliatives for their workers to cushion the rising price of petrol and other commodities since the removal of petrol subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
