The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG has announced the suspension of its nationwide strike.
Blaze FM reports that the suspension followed an agreement reached on Tuesday with the management of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals on the contentious issue of workers’ unionisation.
Several fuel stations across the country were shut down on Tuesday following the two-day industrial action by members of NUPENG.
The strike followed allegations against the Dangote Group, stating that the company denied its employees the right to join recognised labour unions.
At a conciliation meeting convened by the minister, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, both parties held lengthy discussions that produced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in Abuja.
