The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has suspended its nationwide strike this morning after reaching an agreement with the Federal Government
The truce followed government’s reaffirmation of workers’ rights to freely associate and join unions of their choice.
In a statement, Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, disclosed that workers recently laid off by the Dangote Group would be redeployed to other subsidiaries within the conglomerate without any loss of pay.
It was also agreed that no employee would face victimisation over their role in the dispute between PENGASSAN and the Dangote Refinery management.
PENGASSAN has begun the process of calling off the strike, with both sides pledging to honour the terms of the settlement. The union is expected to formally announce the suspension of the strike at a media briefing later today.
