Another fuel scarcity looms as PENGASSAN commences strike on Thursday

Yesterday, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, directed its members nationwide to begin a strike from Thursday, following alleged government refusal to address pending issues affecting the oil industry.

The union, in a statement, said the strike would affect all sub-sectors of the oil and gas industry. The union cited the inability of the FG to honour agreements contained in a May 12, 2016 communiqué as the reason for calling for the strike.
