The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its two-day strike after reaching an agreement with the Dangote Group.
"We have suspended the strike. The Dangote refinery has agreed to unionise its drivers. We signed an agreement," NUPENG's National President, Williams Akporeha, confirmed.
The agreement came after a meeting convened by the Department of State Services (DSS), where the Dangote refinery team, led by Sayyu Dantata, consented to unionise its drivers.
The strike was called off following the agreement, which aims to resolve the dispute over unionisation rights for the refinery's 4,000 truck drivers.
This development brings relief to the nation, as the industrial action had led to fuel scarcity in some parts of the country, with several filling stations shut down.
