NUPENG Initiates Nationwide Strike Over Dangote Dispute
The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) declared a nationwide strike starting on September 8, 2025, in protest against labor practices related to the deployment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks at Dangote Refinery. NUPENG accused Dangote of excluding the union from the new truck operation arrangements, leading to concerns about increased fuel scarcity.
The union disclosed that recruitment for truck drivers began without union involvement, raising issues of labor rights and fair practices. NUPENG's decision to strike highlights the ongoing tensions between labor unions and major industry players like Dangote Group, impacting the fuel distribution sector in Nigeria.
