The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has announced that it will begin a nationwide strike any moment from now.
The Union cites reason for their industrial action as the terrible roads all over the country.
Other reasons given for the planned strike include:
- Federal government’s refusal to install safety valves in all petroleum trucks to stop the contents from spilling out.
- Abuse of the tonnage capacity by marketers and transporters alike.
say that the since the notice of the strike was given on September 25 and October 7, the government has not met the demands of NUPENG members and have also not bothered to reach out.
A source told Vanguard that the ultimatum they had given the government would be expiring on October 8.
He said: “I have nothing to tell you other than that our ultimatum will expire tomorrow (Friday, October 8). As at today, Thursday, October 7, nothing has changed. The ultimatum subsists.
“The communiqué we issued on September 25, 2021 in Enugu has explained our next line of action. Do not forget, since Monday September 27, we have been on a work-to-rule action in accordance with the communiqué. Well, if you must know, the nationwide may begin this weekend or any moment after tomorrow (Friday).”
