LunagisthubFederal Government Intervenes in NUPENG-Dangote Dispute
The National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has been at odds with the Dangote Group over the company’s alleged anti-worker and anti-union policies. The union has accused the company of restricting its employees from associating with unions in the industry.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, has stepped in to resolve the dispute. He has urged NUPENG to reconsider its planned nationwide strike, scheduled to start on September 8, 2025. The ministry is holding a conciliation meeting to find a solution to the conflict.
A nationwide strike by NUPENG could have significant economic implications, disrupting the petroleum sector and impacting the country’s economy. The Federal Government’s intervention aims to preserve stability in the industry and prevent any potential disruptions.
The outcome of the conciliation meeting will determine the fate of the planned strike. If the parties involved can find a resolution, the strike may be averted. However, if the dispute remains unresolved, the strike could proceed, leading to further disruptions in the industry.
