Itsekiri Youth Group Gives Chevron 21-Day Ultimatum Over Oil Negotiations
The Itsekiri youth group, UIY, demands that only the Olu of Warri negotiate with oil companies like Chevron within the Warri Kingdom, threatening a total shutdown if Chevron fails to comply within 21 days. The group accuses Chevron of neglecting the Itsekiri host communities despite extensive oil operations in the area, leading to underdevelopment and poverty.
UIY outlines demands for equitable employment opportunities, transparent contract awards, and community empowerment. They emphasize the need for negotiations to be conducted through authorized channels and reject external community groups.
Failure to meet their demands could result in a shutdown of Chevron's operations in the Warri Kingdom.
