The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has suspended its planned nationwide strike.
The strike was suspended on Monday following the intervention of the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr. Chris Ngige and the Department of State Security (DSS) in Abuja.
PENGASSAN noted that the reason for the strike was because of the alleged anti-labour practices against some of its members by some oil companies.
The management of Neconde Energy Limited after the negotiation with the DSS, the Federal Government, offered a letter of recall to the sacked employees of the company.
The management of the company also agreed to allow the union to exist in the company.
PENGASSAN stated that the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, therefore, agreed to resolve anti-union posture by other indigenous companies and marginal field operators while a meeting was fixed for second week of January 2018 to look at the issues.
