The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas, NUPENG, has given the Federal Government 21 days to stop the mass sack of its members by oil majors or face mass action from the union.
A communique issued by the Central Working Committee during it's meeting in Warri, Delta state, revealed that over 3000 workers have been sacked by oil majors and servicing companies who are closing shops on account of the current recession.
Reading the communique, President of NUPENG, Igwe Achese said, “NUPENG will take all necessary action to drive home its demands if FG failed to act in 21 days. We are 100% in support against anti-corruption, but there must be respite for Nigerians.
“Right now, our members and even those in other sectors are no longer able to pay school fees for their children and even afford rents. Worse still, those being sacked now are so treated without commitment to proper terminal benefits.”
