NUPENG SUSPENDS PLANNED STRIKE ACTION
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) has suspended the intended withdrawal of services of Petroleum Tanker Drivers earlier scheduled to commence midnight of Sunday, 10th October 2021.
Recall that Eons Intelligence had reported that Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) under the aegis of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) was going to embark on a nationwide industrial action over the deplorable state of Federal roads across Nigeria.
This suspension was made known in a statement after an agreement was reached with the Union by the management of NNPC at a meeting held in Ibadan, Oyo State on Sunday.
The statement reads; "We wish to clearly made it known to all well meaning Nigerians that have variously appealed to us on these issues that our planned was not intended to inflict further pains on Nigerians but to ensure observance of minimum safety on our highways for the good of lives and properties.
"We are well aware of the impacts our actions usually have on the people, businesses and the nation at large but we cannot continue to watch as things continue to degenerate in our industry.
In the light of the above, the Union will not hesitate to re- commence the action without any notice if the understanding reached in these two meetings are not fully implemented within the timeframe agreed.
"With this, our Petroleum Tanker Drivers are hereby directed to continue providing services for the efficient and effective distribution of Petroleum products to homes and workplaces across the country.
Our Solidarity remains constant for the Union makes us strong."
