Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, has suspended its planned nationwide strike following intervention by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
NUPENG had planned to down tools and begin a nationwide strike to compel Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL, honour agreement it reached with the union on June 20.
But announcing the suspension of the planned strike in a statement yesterday, President and General Secretary of the union, Williams Akporeha and Afolabi Olawale, respectively, directed members to demobilize and go about their normal duties.
NUPENG
assured the public that there would be no disruption of fuel supply, and
therefore no need to panic.
