The Three- day warning strike called by the
National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas
(NUPENG) to protest unfriendly labour
practices and lack of implementation of
agreements by oil companies in the country
has been suspended.

Also, the Minister of Labour and Employment,
Senator Chris Ngige, has warned that the
government will not accept a situation where oil
companies disregard agreements freely entered
into with union on a negotiating table.
This was the outcome of a meeting called by
the minister between the unions and the
international oil companies on Wednesday.

The meeting was attended by the two unions in
the oil sector, representatives of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the
Inspector General of Police and the Director
General of the Directorate of State Services
(DSS).
Addressing journalists at the end of the meeting
which ended at about 7.40 p.m., President of
NUPENG, Comrade Igwe Achese, said they were
satisfied with the commitment shown during the
deliberations and expressed the hope that the
agreement reached will be implemented by all
parties.
