The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers Union, NUPENG, has directed its members to comply with the indefinite nationwide strike ordered by the Organised Labour.
NUPENG’s General Secretary, Afolabi Olawale, in a statement said the Union was committed to ensuring total compliance with the directive.
The Nigeria Labour Congress, and the Trade Union Congress, had issued a statement on Friday announcing an indefinite nationwide strike to begin on Monday over the Federal Government’s failure to adopt the proposed new minimum wage.
Afolabi said the union was concerned about Government’s insensitivity to the very critical issue of negotiating a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
He, therefore, urged union leaders at all levels, from the units, zones and branches, to quickly put all processes in place to ensure total compliance with the directive.
