The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, has directed its members to comply with the indefinite nationwide strike ordered by Organised Labour.
The strike is slated to commence on Monday.
NUPENG General Secretary, Mr Afolabi Olawale, in a statement on Saturday, said the union was committed to ensuring total compliance with the directive.
Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, declared an indefinite nationwide strike to begin on Monday.
The strike is to express Nigerian workers’ anger at the refusal of the Federal Government to adopt the proposed new minimum wage.
Afolabi said 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.

Good action. FG knows how to raise money by causing pains that this country has never faced in history, and distribute it to politicians and their concubines.
ReplyDeleteTinibu apc. I want to know that, history will always have it what you did to nigerians. Many families watch their children sleep hungry. Did you think we forget all these.
Let see how God will bless you and your families when kids are starving to death
Why are workers union so selfish. Who care with thier strike?. When they allow govt remove subsidy. When they get salary increase what about the majority of Nigerians that are not govt workers. What about state workers that will not get the minimum wage. You are on your own. Strike no strike we don't care.
