17-Jan-17

Protesters from six host-communities paralysed business activities at the Indorama Petrochemical Limited in Eleme Local Council of Rivers State, as per the guardian.ng. The protesters were grieved by the death of a youth leader in the area, Mr. Aji Ngoya, allegedly murdered recently in connection with agitation by people of the communities for payment of their entitlements by the company.
Special adviser, Dr. Jossy Nkwocha, said that the firm would arrange a tripartite meeting of Indorama, Elana and the communities’ representatives to resolve any lingering issue. He also appealed to the protesters to give the company time to convene the meeting, claiming that Indorama had been paying the dividends accruing to the communities to Elana Investment.
