FG Intervenes in Dangote Refinery-PENGASSAN Dispute to Prevent Energy Supply Disruption

The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), has intervened in the dispute between Dangote Refinery and PENGASSAN. PENGASSAN had declared a nationwide strike over the sacking of 800 workers at the refinery.

NUPRC emphasized the need for dialogue to prevent disruptions in the nation's energy supply. Dangote Refinery urged the government to rein in the union, calling the strike an act of economic sabotage.

The intervention aims to resolve the crisis amicably in the national interest. The standoff highlights the importance of dialogue in resolving industrial disputes to maintain energy stability in Nigeria.
