Activities have commenced at both the Abuja headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and at all its subsidiaries in Nigeria, as well as at petrol stations operated by the national oil firm as the nationwide strike by Oil workers in the NNPC has been suspended. The unions had embarked on strike following the misinterpretation of the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The workers union reportedly sent a text message to all its members to suspend the one-day-old strike. The strike embarked upon by oil unions workers under the umbrella of NUPENG and PENGASSAN was said to have been called off after meeting with the Minister of state for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu.
Dr Kachikwu is said to have emphasized that there was no unbundling of NNPC adding that what was happening was a restructuring. Apparently, many of the oil workers feared that many of them would be sacked if NNPC was unbundled and they immediately resorted to a strike, but they have been reassured that their jobs are safe at least for now.
