NIGERIA (Lagos)-Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has come against what they considered as unfair labour practices and other unpleasant activities of major oil marketers including some multi-national oil companies in Nigeria.

According to NUPENG, the activities of oil marketers and multi-national companies amounted to economic sabotage which could lead to unrest in the sector.

It urged President Jonathan and other concerned people within the Federal Cabinet to quickly intervene in the matter before it would be too late.

A statement released by its President, Achese Igwe, in Lagos yesterday said:

 “NUPENG has watched with great concern the activities of oil majors and multi-nationals in the industry and warns of imminent fuel scarcity if their nefarious activities are not checked by embarking on nation-wide strike without notice.

“The new drive of the oil majors and multi-nationals amounts to sabotage and that if not controlled will lead to an unhealthy atmosphere in the sector.   We call on Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of Labour and the National Assembly to quickly intervene before the bubble bursts.”
