The Federal Government has called
on the Petroleum and Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), to
halt its planned nationwide strike.
Minister of Labour and
Employment, Chris Ngige, made the appeal in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Ngige urged the association to
reconsider its decision.
The statement was signed by the
Deputy Director, Press, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Samuel Olowookere,
who said the minister asked PENGASSAN call off the strike in the interest of
the country.
“By that agreement, Neconde shall
invite the sacked branch chairman of PENGASSAN and hold heart-to-heart
discussion with him while PENGASSAN is to hold back proposed action pending the
reconvening of the meeting in the second week of January, 2018 when other
contending issues relating to other oil companies would also be sorted out,”
the ministry explained.
