Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG has announced the suspension of its nationwide strike.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the suspension followed an agreement reached on Tuesday with the management of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals on the contentious issue of workers\u2019 unionisation.<\/p>\n

Several fuel stations across the country were shut down on Tuesday following the two-day industrial action by members of NUPENG.<\/p>\n

The strike followed allegations against the Dangote Group, stating that the company denied its employees the right to join recognised labour unions.<\/p>\n

At a conciliation meeting convened by the minister, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, both parties held lengthy discussions that produced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The signed MoU read, \u201cThat since workers\u2019 unionisation is a right in line with the provisions of the extant laws, the management of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals agreed to the unionisation of employees of Dangote Refinery and unionization of employees of Petrochemicals, who are willing to unionize.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat the process of unionization shall commence immediately and be completed within two weeks (9th\u201322nd September, 2025), and it was agreed that the employer will not set up any other union.<\/p>\n

\u201cArising from the strike notice, no worker or employee of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals will be victimized.\u201d<\/p>\n
