PENGASSAN Declares Nationwide Strike Over Worker Dismissals
Fuel scarcity threatens Nigeria as PENGASSAN, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, has declared an indefinite nationwide strike. The strike was prompted by the alleged mass dismissal of Nigerian workers at Dangote Petroleum Refinery, with the union accusing the management of breaching labor laws and international conventions.
PENGASSAN directed its members to withdraw their services starting September 28, leading to a total shutdown across the company's operations from September 29. The union condemned the replacement of dismissed local workers with foreign nationals, mainly Indians, as a violation of workers' rights and a threat to the Nigerian workforce's dignity.
