Casualisation booms, poverty spreads as jobs disappear in N-Delta

A new report on the activities of oil companies in the Niger Delta has revealed that the degradation of work in the oil-rich region jeopardizes the livelihoods and well-being of workers and their families.

The report by American Center for International Labour Solidarity, ACILS, revealed that this has resulted in fewer opportunities for Nigerians to improve working and living conditions, especially in local communities that have seen little benefit from the profitable sector.
