Fuel Scarcity Coming? PENGASSAN To Begin Strike Thursday

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

The impending strike, according to PENGASSAN Ag. General Secretary, Lumumba Okugbawa, will affect all sub-sectors of the oil industry, including upstream, the midstream and the downstream.

In a memo dated July 4, 2016, and addressed to all zonal chairmen, secretaries, all branch chairmen and secretaries, the Senior Staff Association directed its members to embark on gradual withdrawal of services from their various offices, sites and production facilities.

Okugbawa said: “Sequel to the above subject, the Association tried to engage the Federal Government on May 24, 2016, which was inconclusive.

"The engagement was later fixed for June 23, 2016, which did not take place and again of June 30, 2016 which was unceremoniously cancelled with no new date given."

Are these guys trying to hold government to ransom or just punish Nigerians?
