What NUPENG, PENGASSAN told Buhari at the State House

The leadership of trade unions in the oil sector had a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.

Here is what National President of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas, NUPENG, Igwe Achese told State House correspondents after the meeting.

“We had a successful meeting, quite interesting in terms of the emotional attachment of Mr. President on the issue of oil and gas sector and the challenges we are facing.

“We tabled the issue of fuel scarcity, the quick passage of the PIB and to see how the sector will bounce back economically.

“Clearly, we talked more on corruption in the oil and gas sector, product allocations. Mr. President assured us that NUPENG and PENGASSAN (Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria) will continue to be part of the restructuring he will make, and ensure scarcity is reversed.”
