Fuel scarcity looms as NUPENG gives FG 21 days for recall of sacked workers

The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas workers, NUPENG, has given the Federal Government a 21-day ultimatum to prevail on oil companies to recall its sacked members, else it will embark on an industrial action.

NUPENG, in a communiqué read by the Central Working Committee still meeting in Warri, Delta state, warned that Federal Government’s failure to halt the mass strike will lead to mass action.


The communique by organisation’s President, Igwe Achese reads, “NUPENG will take all necessary action to drive home its demands if FG failed to act in 21 days. We are 100% in support of anti-corruption, but there must be respite for Nigerians.


“Right now, our members and even those in other sectors are no longer able to pay school fees for their children and even afford rents. Worse still, those being sacked now are so treated without commitment to proper terminal benefits.”
