The planned strike action of PENGASSAN and NUPENG over delay in passage of the PIB might be a reality next week as the labour unions walked out of a meeting with FG and IOCs on Tuesday night. The unions had threatened to shut down the country's oil and gas sector and currently have informed members to hold zonal meetings. Could the outcome be a massive strike action? - and an accompanying inevitable fuel scarcity.

Excerpt from Punch:

The two major labour unions in the petroleum industry – the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, are currently on warpath with the Federal Government and International Oil Companies over unresolved differences at a stakeholders’ forum held in Abuja on Tuesday.

PENGASSAN and NUPENG also authorised their members to meet at their various zonal levels. All zones are expected to round off such meetings on or before Friday this week.

The sources confirmed that the planned strike by the labour organisations might become a reality next week after resolutions might have been collated from all the zones of the unions scattered accross the country.

This move, they admitted, would have a drastic effect on the festive period ahead, as product supply would be halted nationwide.
