Group Managing Director of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr Maikanti Baru, on Friday
appealed to the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) to
reconsider a 15-day ultimatum it issued the Federal Government.
A statement issued in Abuja by
the NNPC Spokesman, Mr Ndu Ughamadu, said Baru expressed concern over “the
possible effects the ultimatum would have on products supply and distribution
chain in the country”.
The GMD stated that the NUPENG’s
threat could compound the current hiccups in the supply chain over which
concerted efforts are being made to bring it under control.
He therefore appealed to the
union to exercise patience to enable government address issues over which it
had raised concern.
NUPENG had, in a release dated
Jan. 31, given a 15-day ultimatum to government over six labour issues between
some of its members and their respective companies.
Baru urged NUPENG to “maintain
the harmonious industrial relations that have brought stability in the
industry”.
