The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have suspended their strike action after a closed door meeting with the Minister of Labour Chris Ngige at the state house Abuja.
The meeting which started at about 3pm yesterday ended at about 2am this morning was attended by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, the oil unions and international companies.
They discussed issues on undue retrenchment of oil workers by International Oil Companies, bad road networks that affect oil transport workers, job security, causalisation of workers and improved welfare among others.
The minister of labour and employment appealed to the companies not to lay off workers as government is trying to make the environment more conducive for their businesses.
