Niger Delta Students Union Government from the states in the region participating in a 2-day intensive workshop on the Petroleum Industry Act, (PIA), in Benin City on Wednesday protested over alleged sharp practices by the management of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company Ltd, (NPDC).
The participants blocked the entrance of the company for several hours, thereby preventing entry and exit.
The protesters said they were protesting to ask the NPDC management to give them their due as captured in the blueprint for the training.
They accused the company of shortchanging them of what is due to each participant for the training.
