The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has officially called off its strike following a truce brokered by the Department of State Services (DSS) between the Federal Government, oil sector stakeholders, and organised labour.<\/p>\n
The breakthrough came after a high-level meeting held in Abuja, which brought together top government officials, representatives of Dangote Refinery, and leaders from major labour unions.<\/p>\n
In attendance were the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun; Minister of Labour and Employment, Mohammed Maigari Dingyadi; Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha; and a Dangote Refinery team led by Alhaji Sayyu Dantata.<\/p>\n
Labour was represented by NUPENG\u2019s Akpouha Williams, Benson Upah of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Dr. N.A. Toto, mni+, of the Trade Union Congress (TUC).<\/p>\n
Following extensive deliberations, all parties agreed to uphold labour laws, particularly reaffirming that no worker should be forced to join a union, and every employee retains the right to freely associate\u2014or not\u2014with any labour organisation.<\/p>\n
Other outstanding disputes were addressed, culminating in the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) by all parties involved.<\/p>\n
The resolution led to the immediate suspension of NUPENG\u2019s strike, which had posed a significant threat to the nation\u2019s fuel supply chain.<\/p>\n
Government representatives welcomed the agreement as a major step toward sustaining industrial harmony, while labour leaders emphasized their continued commitment to defending workers\u2019 rights within the framework of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
