Nigerian oil workers extend Exxon Mobil strike to Chevron, Agip and Shell

ONITSHA, Nigeria, May 16 (Reuters) - Nigerian workers from an oil labour union have extended a strike to oil majors Chevron (Euronext: CHTEX.NX - news) , Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) and Eni (LSE: 0N9S.L - news) subsidiary Agip in protest over the sacking of members from Exxon Mobil Corp, the union's general secretary said on Tuesday.
