Members of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Gas Workers
(NUPENG) have called off their three-day strike that
began on Monday. The announcement of the strike’s end came yesterday.
NUPENG said the strike, which resulted in
traffic lock-down in such major cities as Abuja and
Lagos, was necessary to draw attention to
issues related to its members’ jobs.In a statement onTuesday, the union announced the end of the strike. Speaking to our correspondent this morning, Tokunbo Korodo, the chairman of the south-west chapter of NUPENG,said the decision to suspend the industrial action followed the intervention of Andrew Yakubu, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as well as the Petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
However, NUPENG warned that its members would adopt a more serious and prolonged labor action without warning if the government failed to address the concerns raised by the union.
