 The joint youth council, IYC Worldwide, has threatened to occupy all Shell Petroleum Development Company's SPDC facilities in Niger Delta to protest its alleged violation of Nigerian content laws and the deprivation of host communities and local contractors in Bayelsa, Delta and River States of what should be theirs. IYC National Spokesman Biladi Kerefe, who addressed newsmen in Yenogua Bayelsa State, said despite the intervention of senior officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, officials of the SPDC have terminated jobs meant for indigenous contractors describing the situation as unacceptable. Few indigenous contractors that we have that are doing well, we cannot allow anybody, no matter how highly placed you are, to stop them from benefiting from the exploration and the exploitation that is going on in the Niger Delta region. And so while we are not giving any ultimatum, they should expect to see the occupation of youth from this region in their facilities if this illegality is not being reversed.
