Nigeria may be plunged into another round of fuel scarcity as the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), has threatened to resume its suspended strike if the federal government refuses to enforce the implementation of an agreement reached among the tripartite partners in the industry.

In a letter addressed to the Minister of Labour and Productivity dated August 22, 2016 and signed by the acting General Secretary, PENGASSAN, Comrade Lumumba IghotemuOkugbawa, stated that since the agreement was signed over a month ago, there was not much progress or commitment towards implementing the tenets of the agreement.

Copies of the letter were sent to the Director General of the State Security Services (SSS), the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC) and the General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS).

The union urged the minister to intervene by calling on the defaulting managements who have refused to implement the agreement, to order so as to avert another round of nationwide strike.

According to PENGASSAN, the agreement was reached at the end of the conciliation meetings held at the instance of the Minister of Labour and Employment with PENGASSAN, the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and other stakeholders on July 12, 14 and 21, 2016 in Abuja.

The letter read in part, “It is over a month now since the last communiqué was reached and we can say in summation that no much progress has been achieved. This of course is making our restive and we are under tremendous pressure to bring about a total resolution on all the contending issues.

“We are constrained therefore to note with great dismay that most of the companies are foot-dragging and have resorted to time-wasting tactics in order to deliberately frustrate the process,” the letter noted.

The union listed the companies that have refused to honour their own parts of the agreement reached during the various engagements among the tripartite. They are the managements of the oil and gas companies are Mobil Producing Nigeria Contract Staff Forum, Fugro Nigeria Limited, Petrostuff Nigeria, Tecon, Frontier Oil Limited, Universal Energy Resources Limited, Pan Ocean, Halliburton Energy Services Nigeria Limited, CISCON, and Baker Hughes among others.

with what we have on ground..... these ones are still thinking of strike....






let them go and crumble the whole thing so that their eyes can clear... mtcheww

Ok, after all the country has been on strike since Buhari's government took over power

The SPDC (SHELL) is the originator of the evil called actualization in Nigeria before other operators and servicing companies follow up.

The moment 'Localization' policy was introduced into the Oil and Gas Industry, our brothers (Nigerians) at the top began another policy tagged 3rd party just to break the Camel's back.

I don't personally blame Halliburton, Baker Hughes, ExxonMobil etc. I blame our so called Legislative Assembly. What is happening to the Nigeria Oil & Gas workers can never happen in Gabon, Ghana, Egypt etc.

It's a big shame!

Oh not again

chai.....

Another Strike?....




That moment wen APC comes campaiqninq for 2019.....

Any group planning to go on strike in this hyper hardship is evoking course upon their generation.

In short na thunda go fire them in the morning, fire them in the afternoon and fire them in the night

Useless selfish people, they should strike already just like ASUU for about six months.

They have started scene 1 of the plot to increase fuel prices once more ..if you have lived in Nigeria for a while you will know this is how fuel increment starts

1: from no where NLC will warn govt against any increase in fuel price

2: From no where Nupeng will threaten to go on strike

3 : Nupeng will go on 7 days warning strike and panic buying will start

4: out of no where Nupeng will call of strike after 3 days

5: Fuel supply will suddenly become inadequate even though Nupeng has called of strike

6:NNPC will accuse invisible cartel of hoarding invisible fuel at some invisible depot.

This country should just dissolve let's all die. Nonsense!

If the companies decide to do like Aero who looses out?

Na wa oo,,well am not suprise we are used to it by now #change#

they will threaten strike then call it off after one day. na their way. I'm not moved. bunch of toothless bulldogs

Speechless.....
