NUPENG,NNPC workers call off strike after midnight meeting

The long queues for fuel at petrol stations
might soon come to an end.
The National Union of Petroleum and Natural
Gas (NUPENG) and the Petroleum and Natural
Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria
(PENGASSAN) have called off the strike which
they embarked upon on Wednesday, March 9.
The decision to end the strike is as a result of
a late night meeting with the Minister of state
for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu on
Thursday, March 10.
The unions had gone on strike following the
announcements of the proposed restructuring
of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC by Kachikwu.
The restructuring, according to Kachikwu, who
is also the Group Managing Director of NNPC,
will split NNPC into 5 business-focused and 2
service driven units
