Director General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, LSSC, Mr. Fouad Oki, in a statement after visiting the company, said that the company failed to adhere to the state safety standards, stating that the working conditions of the company was deplorable.
Oki said: “We have no option than to give the closure directive because the working condition in the company is harsh and totally unacceptable. It was unacceptable to Lagos as a work-place.”Mr. Uche Eke, the Public Relations Manager of the company, reacted to the closure by saying that it would serve as a notice to the management to improve on its work-place safety measures, stating, “when it is improved, it will help to avoid future hazards.’’
Mr Umoh was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, after the accident but he later died there.

Its high time something is done about the way these foreign companies treat their Nigerian staff, the working condition is so pathetic and the salary nothing to write home about. This issue should be critically looked into.

Nw they just made many people unemployed.... They should find a means to stop the accidents other than shutting it down........

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
If is ur relative dat died, u will not make dat stupid and unreasonable statement. U should learn to put pple in ur shoe. How can u compare job to life
DeleteMy dear shutting it down is the best way to drive the message home. Someone is dead and gone forever from earth. What is the guarantee that another will not die while they are looking 'another means to stop the accidents'.
DeleteIt should be shut down until they are sure human lives mean something to the company.
I also think Nigerians should always report unsafe working conditions and not just accept anything because 'there's no job'. People should not jeopardize their lives simply because they need money.
DeleteIt is well with the family and friends of the deceased. I pray the Lord comforts them.
It's not the first time, chinese and indians firms operating in Nigeria treat their indigenous workers like chattel.
ReplyDeletehmmm... RIP to the dead
ReplyDeleteWe are really suffering in our own country
An unfortunate incidence! Too damn bad!
ReplyDeleteRip tew him
ReplyDeleteLinda take biro
Sad! Nigerians allow foreigners to do all manner of rubbish here, stuffs that they would never allow u do in their country. Especially dis Lebanese and Chinese.
ReplyDeleteso sad
ReplyDeleteThat's bad ooooooo..... that liquid can melt brain oooooo,,,,, I have worked in a place like that before ooooooo...... those foreigners don't care about their workers safety ooooo coupled with the stipends they pay as salary..... so sad
ReplyDelete... rip
Its only in this country that a foreign company will come and enslave the citizens. Those Chinese, Lebanon and Indians have done more harm than good in this country.
ReplyDeletethis is not new at all, same happened in Indian steel company in Ikorodu area of lagos state. the way the matters were treated was so bad expectially by the Leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
ReplyDeleteImmediately the incident happened, these people are still running their engines not minding the death. the NLC came took money and order the workers to go back to work and anyone absence for that day should be sent away or deduct that day pay.
it was so pathetic the way and manner they sold out just because of money, making Nigerian 3rd or 4th class citizen even in their own country. As I speak no compensation as been paid to the wife and children.
And worker broke his spinal cord and later died same treatment was applied. NLC is the most corrupt element in this country.
workers cannot talk of better pay because the people that will decide the fate will take bribe and tell worker to go back to work or resign. so sad Linda
Too sad. These foreign slavedrivers shd be closely monitored henthforth. R.I.P 2 him.
ReplyDeleteWhat baffles me is dat dey come here and treat us like slaves in our own land can u imagine something wey u nor fit try for China, d workers go Don suffer die until dis one come happen and dats how all d other factorys are in nigeria , no regulation even d workers nor fit talk make dem nor sack dem from 10k monthly. Chaiiii nigeriaoooooooooo y na wetin we do na wetin we youth do this country .make una tell me wetin we do.
