Protesters in Nigeria’s Niger Delta are blockading an entrance to a Chevron oil facility. The protesters are demanding jobs and housing.
“Chevron has not fulfilled many of its promises,” said Collins Edema, a youth and protest leader in the UgborodoItsekiri community in Delta state, in a Reuters report. The UgborodoItsekiri community is home to Chevron’s Escravos tank farm. Edema said the tank farm had been blocked.
According to Edema Chevron had previously promised to create jobs for the youth in the area and to provide new housing.
“Our protest will continue until Chevron listens to our demands. We at Ugborodo are urging other Itsekiri communities to follow suit and shut down Chevron activities in our communities,” he said.
