NUPENG Threatens Industrial Action
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, yesterday, in Lagos threatened to stop fuel distribution and shut down the nation’s oil sector due to Alleged unfair labour practices and other nefarious activities by major oil marketers and 
multinational oil companies in Nigeria which according to the union, may amount to economic sabotage if not checked.
NUPENG therefore called on President Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of Labour and the National Assembly to quickly intervene before it became too late.
“NUPENG has watched with great concern the activities of oil majors and multinationals in the industry and warns of imminent fuel scarcity if their nefarious activities are not checked by embarking on nation-wide strike without notice.
“The new drive of the oil majors and multinationals amounts to sabotage and that if not controlled will lead to an unhealthy atmosphere in the sector. We call on Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of Labour and the National Assembly to quickly intervene before the bubble bursts,” a statement by NUPENG President, Achese Igwe read.
