JUST IN: Fuel scarcity looms as NUPENG supports Labour’s nationwide strike action
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has instructed its members to participate in the nationwide strike called for by Organised Labour, starting on Monday. NUPENG’s General Secretary, Mr. Afolabi Olawale, affirmed the union’s dedication to ensuring complete adherence to this directive.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have announced an indefinite nationwide strike starting Monday to protest the Federal Government’s rejection of the proposed new minimum wage, reflecting the frustration of Nigerian workers.
Afolabi said the union was concerned and disturbed with the insensitive attitude of the Federal Government “to the very critical issue of negotiating a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers”.
“This is in view of the various socio- economic policies of this administration that have impoverished the working people of this country.
“Leaders of our great union at all levels, from the units, zones and branches, should immediately put all processes in place to ensure total compliance with this directive,” he added.
