I worked with BP in Lagos head office before travelling to this country in the 170s when the natural gas at Elwmw was always in flaqmes . Almost 40% of company's senior executives then were forign . With company program to trin locals then to take over those responsibllle key sectors , why are they still bringing in foreign "experts" despite the insecurity in the country ?I'll suggest some slowdown or better to abandon the practice untill the spate of harrassement of foreign worker is stopped
