Yet Another Kidnapping Incident in Nigeria...This Time Koreans at a Daewoo Plant.
So this seems all too common now...one week its oil workers in an oil field...next week its oil workers off a ship...then workers off a rig...then Ethiopian oil fields...is this ever going to stop?
Well the low cost of labor, zero regulation and unending resources certainly looks attractive to the western investors eyes but most definitely comes at a price...a rather high one at that.
A group of Koran ex-pats working at a Daewoo plant in the Niger River delta were abducted and kidnapped by local guerrilla groups. This is the second of such incidents on the same plant and group of workers in the last nine months.
So how are these attacks to be prevented...perhaps sharing the wealth or maybe setting up some sort of welfare program for the local, dirt poor Nigerians...or maybe even providing jobs to the locals...they can surely provide unskilled menial labor. Or maybe just stay in the MNC's home state... I don't know just a suggestion...
