Senator Ndume Defends Tinubu's Move to Dissolve PENGASSAN Amid Dispute

Senator Ndume defended Tinubu's decision to dissolve PENGASSAN, criticizing the union for prioritizing individual benefits over national interests. Ndume accused PENGASSAN of attempting to impose demands on Dangote refinery and neglecting the welfare of Nigerians in the oil and gas sector.

He urged Tinubu to take decisive action to dissolve the union, emphasizing the need for unions to serve the collective good. The dispute arose after PENGASSAN instructed workers to go on a nationwide strike following the dismissal of 800 workers at the Dangote refinery.

Ndume's stance highlights the ongoing tensions between labor unions and government figures in Nigeria.
