Nigerian Government Appeals To PENGASSAN Over Dangote Dispute

The Federal Government has urged the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria to reconsider its proposed strike starting Monday over its dispute with Dangote Refinery.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, says his Ministry has taken steps to bring both parties to a roundtable to stop their dispute from escalating further.

The Minister called on the leadership of PENGASSAN to withdraw the strike declaration to allow his Ministry to conciliate the dispute in a peaceful atmosphere.

The Minister urged the feuding parties to give peace a chance, assuring them that the Federal Government would resolve the dispute amicably to the satisfaction of all the parties involved and in the national interest.
