The group’s spokesperson, Emmanuel Ojugbana, said chairmen and secretaries in its zones and branches have concluded plans to ensure a complete shutdown of the country’s oil and gas industry operations.
PENGASSAN had on MOnday directed its zonal leaders to sensitize members about the planned strike over “unresolved issues” affecting the smooth operation of the oil and gas industry.
Mr. Ojugbana said since the directive, its members have been meeting to fine-tune strategies towards the strike, with its key officers holding their final meeting on Wednesday.
“In the meeting, the method of the gradual shutdown of the industry was critically examined and adopted by the members. The action, which will cripple all activities and operations in the oil and gas sector, will affect all the sub-sectors.
“Our members in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Petroleum Equalisation Fund (Monitoring Board) PEF (MB), Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), oil majors, labour and contract services companies, and petroleum products marketing companies will join in the action,” Mr Ojugbana said.
The acting general secretary, Lumumba Okugbawa, later told PT that the association’s demands were not selfish, as they bordered on issues that would guarantee the continued survival of the oil and gas industry.
Sources told us that the presidency is reaching out to them to stop the action and talk more.
