In terms of welfare, 4 staffs are designated to live in one room and a square meal is given for a whole day.
The source also disclosed that ExxonMobil which is the mother company is paying Mercury Construction Company very well, but such is not reciprocated in their case.
It was also discovered that the company refused to hand them appointment letters hence
making them toothless dogs and slaves.
As at the time of this report, all efforts to reach the administration officer (Mr Godwin Edigbe) and the Community Interface Coordinator of the company (Mr Unyime Umoh) for further details, proved abortive , as non of them responded to telephone calls.
The workers however promised to sustain their actions and may also take legal steps should the company refuse to shift grounds.
They also called on ExxonMobil, Government and concerned individuals to intervention before it gets out of place.
