PENGASSAN to withdraw members from oil locations

By on July 6, 2016

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria has ordered its members to leave their duty posts in all oil installations and offices throughout the country from July 7, 2016.

PENGASSAN said it had also ordered its four zones in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna to commence sensitisation of its members on the details of the planned action.

The union, in a statement signed by its Acting General Secretary, Mr. Lumumba Okugbawa, said the strike would affect all sub-sectors of the oil and gas industry.

In a memo dated July 4, 2016 and addressed to all zonal and branch chairmen and secretaries, it directed members to embark on gradual withdrawal of services from their various offices, sites and production facilities from Thursday.

The union cited the inability of the Federal Government to honour agreements contained in a May 12, 2016 communiqué as the reason for calling for the strike.
