There was a total compliance of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) members yesterday with the directive to embark on an indefinite strike. In Abuja, few members of the association who reported for duty early in the morning were turned back from the NNPC Towers, except for NUPENG members and management staff who went about their normal duties.
A release issued by the National Public Relations Officer of PENGASSAN, Comrade Emmanuel Ojugbana, stated that there was total compliance in government agencies, as the staff stayed away from their offices.
At the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Nigeria Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NNRA), Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC) and the Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEFMB) headquarters, virtually all offices were locked.
