Falling oil price: Shell to sack 10,000 workers

Following the downward slide of oil price in the International market, international oil firm, Royal Dutch Shell says it is cutting down on 10,000 jobs. Chief Executive of the company, Ben van Beurden, said this in a webcast on its 2015 fourth quarter and full year results early today Feb. 4th
“We are making substantial changes in the company, as we refocus Shell, and respond to lower oil prices. As we have previously indicated, this will include a reduction of some 10,000 staff and direct contractor positions in 2015-16 across both companies.” he said

      Shell should look inwards and stop downsizing.

    Instead of the present administration to provide jobs,they are relieving citizens of their jobs. It's so sad cos this wasn't wat they promised us.

      Maxwell. Royal Dutch shell is cutting jobs globally not Nigeria alone. 10000 jobs cut is globally. It is also a private company and oil price has nothing to do with Buhari.

    People oh... it's a global job cutting not to only Shell workers in Nigeria. Their Nigerian staff strength is not up to 10,000.
    Watch CNN. It is a global lay-off due to falling crude price as they recorded huge loss last year.
    It will affect staffs in various countries.

    I work with Shell... The downsizing of 10,000 workers isn't fully a Nigerian thing. It is world wide.. Plus it also cuts across Shell and the recently acquired BG group. Please we should learn to read and understand. Buhari and the Nigerian government has nothing to do with this. We should pray for our leaders.

    10,000 people is too much. The worst they can do is to reduce their salaries, then those that want to stay will stay & those that cannot will go.
