The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has ordered its members across the federation to be in tandem with the indefinite nationwide strike announced by the Organised Labour of NLC and TUC.
This was in a statement signed by Afọlábí Olawale, NUPENG General Secretary on Saturday.
The statement revealed that the union is committed to total compliance with the strike.
According to Afọlábí, the union was concerned and disturbed with the insensitive attitude of the Federal Government “to the very critical issue of negotiating a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers”.
“This is in view of the various socio- economic policies of this administration that have impoverished the working people of this country.
“Leaders of our great union at all levels, from the units, zones and branches, should immediately put all processes in place to ensure total compliance with this directive,” he added.
