Following the announcement of Unbundling the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, by the minister of Petroleum for State on Tuesday, Oil worker has shut down the state owned oil company on Wednesday.
Staff and management staff arrived at the complex to discover they cannot gain entry into the complex,which might lead to an acute shortage of crude since NUPENG won't be able to lift fuel from the depot.
The Cable reports that The group executive committee (GEC) of the the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) convened an emergency meeting at 10pm on Tuesday to discuss the development.
At the end of the meeting, GEC sent this message to all members: “The GEC of NUPENG & PENGASSAN at its meeting of 8th March 2016, which started at 10:00pm has extensively discussed the pronouncement of the GMD on NNPC UNBUNDLING. We observed that the GMD/HMSP totally disregarded due process and failed to engage STAKEHOLDERS. Hence, from midnight today, ALL NNPC LOCATIONS will be SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY until further notice. Further directives will be communicated accordingly.”
