Fuel Scarcity Looms As NUPENG Backs NLC Planned Strike by Dkmngr(op): 10:21am On Nov 04, 2018
There may be shortage of fuel next week as the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has pledged its loyalty to the Nigeria Labour Congress and any step that the NLC decides to take.

The Federal Government on Friday obtained an order from the National Industrial Court restraining the organised labour from embarking on strike.

The NLC, the Trade Union Congress and the United Labour Congress had, however, insisted on embarking on the strike, claiming that they had not been served with court processes.

Attempts to speak with the presidents of the NLC and the TUC, Mr Ayuba Wabba and Mr Bobboi Kaigama, on Saturday proved abortive as they did not respond to calls made to their telephones.

However, the National President of NUPENG, Prince Akporeha, told our correspondent that since his union is an affiliate of the NLC, it would comply fully with any directive the NLC gave.

When asked if NUPENG would join the strike, he said, “Are we not an affiliate of the NLC? Is NUPENG on its own? Of course we are with the NLC.”

When reminded of the fact that a court had ordered unions not to go on strike, the NUPENG president said, “We are waiting for directives.”

Attempts to get the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria on Saturday also proved abortive as its President, Mr Francis Johnson, neither picked repeated calls to his telephone nor responded to a text message on Saturday.

The organised labour had fixed November 6, 2018 for the commencement of an indefinite strike over the failure of the Federal Government to approve the N30, 000 it is demanding as minimum wage.

Last week, the Nigeria Governors Forum said it could only pay N22, 500 as minimum wage, a position which was rejected by the unions.

And the queues for visas is still on the rise. Buhari's age isn't the problem, most leaders in the world are over 50yrs. Baba is 75% incompetent. Atiku is old but clearly competent. Argue with minimum wage.

Buhari ji masun

Using funds for nonsense allocations

Which one is Aso Rock Kitchen budget

Which kain nonsense be that??

The money from that kitchen alone can fund a state's monthly salary.

Also many positions should be removed from the state government like special aide to the governor's special assistant.

Na all these nonsense they suck money yet they would be complaining no money.

Hahaha, I agree with you, that is why I laugh in Macedonia language when I see folks online defending these useless thieves called politicians that have rendered the country a cesspit of poverty and darkness, all the politicians both PDP, APC needs to be flogged out and dumped into the sea to be eaten by sharks, tomatoes sellers in the market should take charge of governance at all levels in Nigeria because they are good economic managers shocked
