I reckon the oil companies cannot afford to properly protect their workers and contractors......knowing how tough times are economically and all. You folks in Nigeria might reconsider your concerns about what you perceive to be inadequate efforts to safeguard your well being and all. I think it is really over the top for you to think the oil companies can afford such vast investments of capital in these times of depressed earnings and profit.
