The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has sharply responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima’s criticism of its recent strike over a dispute with the Dangote Refinery, asserting that the nation’s interests outweigh both the refinery and the Presidency.
PENGASSAN’s National President, Festus Osifo, emphasized the union’s stance, stating, “Of course the nation is bigger than PENGASSAN, the way it’s bigger than Dangote and the Presidency.
"We have a mandate to protect the jobs of our members, that we will discharge whenever the need arises.”
He reaffirmed the union’s commitment to safeguarding its members, who were dismissed by the Dangote Refinery for joining the association, vowing to take similar action if the issue recurs.
“Should this same event occur again tomorrow, our approach will be exactly the same,” Osifo declared.
