The House of Representatives was denied the opportunity of intervening on the reported inhuman treatment Nigerians working in some foreign companies operating in Nigeria were subjected to.
A motion to address the issue entitled: ‘Urgent need to curb unwholesome practices of Chinese, Indian and Lebanese companies in Nigeria, was withdrawn by the....
sponsor, Segun Adekola (PDP, Ekiti).
To the surprise of some lawmakers, who were prepared for the debate, Adekola took the leave of the House to withdraw the motion.
The motion was listed third for debate on the Order paper yesterday.
In accordance with House rules, the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara granted the request.
In his argument of the motion, as contained on the Order paper, the lawmaker said a media report on an incident at Wempo where it was alleged that a Nigerian worker’s head got smashed by a faulty machine at Wempo called for concern.
