NUPENG calls off strike after meeting with Dangote Group

NUPENG suspends its nationwide strike against the Dangote Group after earlier clashes, easing tensions in Nigeria’s petroleum sector.

The industrial action was sparked after the company allegedly refused to allow its workers join NUPENG.

The strike was called off following a meeting convened by the Department of State Services (DSS), attended by the Ministers of Labour and Finance, Dangote Group officials, and representatives from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Both parties reached an agreement, bringing an end to the brief nationwide industrial action.
