The company is located at Ohaji in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State.
Our correspondent reports that the workers marched through the streets to the Government House to register their grievances, but nobody attended to them.
Addressing newsmen, leader of the protest and South-east zonal coordinator of Agriculture and Allied Employees Union of Nigeria, Comrade Rowland Akpata, expressed regrets that the governor and management of the company have refused to pay the workers.
Apkata flayed the government for abandoning the memo-randum of understanding earlier signed with staff of the company. He pleaded with Governor Rochas Okorocha and Roche Company, which is managing the oil palm, to address the situation.
The protesters also visited the Imo State House of Assembly, where the leadership pledged to set up a committee to look into the matter.
