NUPENG, PENGASSAN begin indefinite three day nationwide strike
The strike, according NUPENG and PENGASSAN, is to protest
government’s inability to carried out turn around maintenance on the country’s
refineries and to reduce pump prices of petroleum products in line with the
drop in global prices of crude oil.
The nationwide strike
suddenly grounded business activities in Abuja as Long queues resurfaced at fuel stations with few
stations seen selling products at inflated prices.
But
the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) assured
that the three-day strike embarked upon by NUPENG and PENGASSAN will not
dislocate the robust distribution and sale of fuel to members of the public.
