Private security guards attached to the National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) and who protect oil pipelines from Lokoja to Kaduna, on Thursday staged a peaceful protest against the non-payment of 22 months’ salary arrears.
The protesting workers blocked the entrance to the NNPC Depot at Awawa, Abaji Area Council, FCT and denied members of staff, petrol tankers and visitors entry.
They lamented that when they were working directly under the NNPC, they were paid as and when due and received other benefits until MRS Limited took over.
