BREAKING: NUPENG suspends strike
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its nationwide strike following a resolution meeting with the Dangote Group.
The union had on Monday declared an industrial action to protest the company’s alleged refusal to allow its workers, particularly truck drivers, to join NUPENG.
The strike was called off after an agreement was reached during a meeting convened by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The session was attended by the Ministers of Labour and Finance, alongside officials of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
The Dangote delegation was led by Seyu Dantata.
As of press time, details of the agreement that led to the suspension of the strike were yet to be disclosed.
