Akwa Ibom govt rejects bill compelling firms to hire indigenes

The bill was passed in June last year.

It also stated that compliance would be a major criterion for contract award and issuance of license and permit by the state government. “If it were passed since last year, I may have advised the governor on it,” Mr Nwoko told PREMIUM TIMES, Monday. “Once you engineer any discriminatory policy against any other Nigerian, no matter where he comes from, it becomes a head-on collision with the Constitution and it is dead on arrival.
