The Akwa Ibom State Government has urged investors to identify and make the identities of those working for them known for security reasons.
Former Attorney General of the state Chief Assam Assam (SAN) said this while presiding over a meeting involving the Ministry of Labour and Manpower Planning and Sterling Global Limited, an oil firm operating in the Eastern Obolo, Ikot Abasi and Mkpat Enin local government areas yesterday.
The Chairman of the Tripartite Negotiation Committee recently set up by Governor Umo Eno following complaints from the three local government areas about the activities of the firm expressed disappointment that the company’s representatives could not comply with the directive to provide the names, and positions of its workers during the meeting.
He said: “We are interested in the security of our state, and the communities are the most affected if there’s insecurity. “We will not permit people to operate in our communities if we don’t know them. It doesn’t matter who they are.”
