The rate at which some foreign entrepreneurs and investors, especially in the manufacturing subsector, violate the rights of their workers and the Nigerian labour laws, is alarming. I resigned last December, because I was afraid of losing any other finger or hand. However, a labour contractor to the company, Jimoh Musa, countered that the company was willing to pay Enahoro his entitlement, but he was not available, stressing that he would never allow foreign company owners shortchange Nigerians. He called on the Nigerian government to assist Nigerians working under foreign employers who have turned workers to slaves. In the same vein, President of Initiative for Downtrodden, Human Rights Group, Peacemaker Onoja, accused many foreign companies in Nigeria of going against labour laws and treating their Nigerian workers with disdain.
