NUPENG calls off strike after DSS intervention
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its nationwide strike following the resolution of a dispute with the Dangote Group.
The industrial action, which began on Monday, was a protest against the company’s refusal to let its employees join the union.
The strike was called off after the Department of State Services (DSS) held an intervention meeting.
