1. (C) On May 11, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) drew down
non-essential staff on three rigs operating offshore in the
Niger Delta. According to Femi Odumabo, Chevron General
Manager for Government and Public Affairs, the drawdown
includes both expatriate and Nigerian staff. It includes
both employees of CNL and independent contractors working on
Chevron projects. Odumabo did not know the exact number of
employees affected. The drawdown will be in effect until
President Obasanjo leaves office on May 29, Odumabo said,
because of militant statements that they want to give
Obasanjo a "big sendoff" to protest his neglect of the Niger
Delta. The drawdown affects drilling and construction
activities, but should have no immediate impact on
production.
