Nigeria may experience an embarrassing shock as Africa's highest exporter of crude-oil as the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) on Monday in Lagos threatened to stop fuel distribution and shut down the nation’s oil sector over alleged unfair labour practices by major oil marketers and multi-national oil companies in Nigeria, NaijaSharpNews correspondents have reported.
The President, Achese Igwe, in a statement made available to NaijaSharpNews, said “NUPENG has watched with great concern the activities of oil majors and multi-nationals in the industry and warns of imminent fuel scarcity if their nefarious activities are not checked by embarking on nation-wide strike without notice."
“The new drive of the oil majors and multi-nationals amounts to sabotage and that if not controlled will lead to an unhealthy atmosphere in the sector. We call on Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of Labour and the National Assembly to quickly intervene before the bubble bursts.”
