Azura Power will seek to promote the development of local skills and the
transfer of international technologies and expertise to local manpower and
local manufacturers. It will also ensure that activities are fully compliant with
the relevant (and evolving) “local content” provisions of Nigerian law and
regulation.
Furthermore, the selection of sub-contractors by Azura Power will ensure that
only high quality sub-contractors (whether of local, national or international
provenance) are selected. They will be required to adopt Azura Power’s
policies on community liaison and local workforce employment. Based on its
analysis of other projects, Azura Power believes that this approach will have a
more direct and positive impact on the local community workforce and will
lead to a greater degree of skills transfer.
Permanent staff
The operating company does not currently have any permanent employees in
Nigeria. Upon employment of local labour, Azura Power will comply with all
relevant Nigerian employment laws and practices including those
requirements related to retrenchment policies, dismissal procedures,
discipline procedures and grievances. The majority of staff based in Nigeria
will be hired locally through job adverts and interviews.
