Ijaw Youths, Shutdown Airtel Facility in Yenagoa, Request For Reversal Of Diesel Contract
The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC), Worldwide, staged a protest on Wednesday by shutting down Airtel’s distribution mast in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, demanding the reversal of the diesel supply contract awarded to a non-indigenous contractor.
The protest, led by National Director of Mobilization, Snr Comr. Ari Fekorigha, and Special Assistant on Oil & Gas and Employment Generation to the National President of the Ijaw Youth Council, Amb. Douyi Tonworimi Duere demanded the reinstatement of Dennison Systems Solution Limited, an indigenous contractor for the diesel supply contract to Airtel Nigeria in Bayelsa State, citing its positive impact on the community through scholarships and skills acquisition programs.
The IYC emphasized its support for local content and deemed the appointment of a non-indigenous contractor as inappropriate.
The IYC says failure to reinstate Dennison Systems Solution Limited, the IYC warned, would result in a permanent shutdown of the telecommunications mast until further notice.
The IYC assured a peaceful protest, in solidarity with Biogbolo Epie Youths, and recalled a similar shutdown on July 28, 2024.
