The
National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG), and the Petroleum
and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), have
called off their strike with immediate effect.
The PENGASSAN President, Comrade Johnson Francis told Channels
Television in a phone interview that the action was taken following the
intervention of the Presidency and the clarification made by the
Petroleum Ministry.
PENGASSAN’s acting General Secretary Lumumba Okugbawa adds that the
decision was taken after 10 hours of talk, ending at about 3am between
the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachukwu, NNPC Executives and
union officials.
“Management agreed that there would be further collaboration … with a
view to considering any suggested amendments. Our input would be taken
into consideration,”
The unions have been directed to resume work and ensure that there is adequate supply of fuel. Mr Johnson also called on Nigerians to bear with the unions, assuring
that everything is under control to ensure the fuel crisis do not
linger for long
