WARRI—Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change, NDIMRC, has urged the Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to sanction multi-national oil companies, which fail to implement the Nigeria’s Local Content Law.

The group, in a  statement by its President, Nelly Emma, praised the Petroleum Minister for her transparency in the industry and encouragement of indigenous companies, but urged her to sanction multi-national oil companies over their alleged continued subversion of the Nigerian Content law.

The group said two years on after President Goodluck Jonathan signed the Nigerian Content Bill into law, most multi-national oil companies were still carrying on their operations as usual and had allegedly refused to carry indigenous companies along.
