The Petroleum and Natural Gas
Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) on Wednesday said a meeting it
held with the Federal Government was inconclusive.
The President, Felix Osifo, gave
the update in a statement.
He said the government was yet to
address some of PENGASSAN’s demands.
The parties had disagreed after
the directive that the oil workers register for the Integrated Payroll and
Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
Osifo disclosed that PENGASSAN
maintained that Petroleum Training Institute and Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory
Agency, must be paid using the harmonized template of 2015.
He noted that this was already in
use by the budget office, appropriated by the National Assembly and signed by
President Muhammadu Buhari into law.
The labour leader said the union
wants a high-powered committee, comprising Nigeria Union of Petroleum and
Natural Gas workers and PENGASSAN Presidents, to settle the outstanding issues
surrounding the IPPIS platform.
“For the 22 months salary arrears, government
agreed to pay 50 per cent and that the balance would be worked out after
Federation Accounts Allocation Committee has met. PENGASSAN has agreed, but
insisted that there should be a definite date for payment of the balance,’’ he
said.
