ChevronTexaco Still Working to Free Hostages
"We don't know when the talks will end," said in a statement. "It could be today, it could be tomorrow, but we don't want the talks to drag on forever." The militant youths were still holding 43 workers, including foreigners, on the jackup, Noble Lloyd Noble, offshore Nigeria after releasing 45 of the original 88 hostages on Tuesday. The company had arranged talks with the youths who stormed the rig last Sunday demanding contract jobs. The talks began at 1000 GMT.
"Our people are still talking with the youths, their traditional rulers and state government officials. We are optimistic that the issue will be amicably resolved," Jakpa said. "We believe that reason will prevail and the workers will be released. We cannot stop talking until we achieve that," Jakpa said. "The good thing however is that they are unharmed."
