The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers have reiterated plans to begin a warning strike scheduled to kick off on January 11.

Tokunbo Korodo, the South-West Zonal Chairman of the union, said on Monday January 9, 2017, that the union had mobilised its members for the strike.

He said that the union was determined to forge ahead with the planned warning strike, which would take place on from January 11 to January 13.

He said, “The warning strike notice had been given since the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting that was held in Port Harcourt in December and we picked second week of January which commences from Jan 8.

“As I am speaking to you now, all zones including Lagos have mobilised to ensure the success of the strike as directed by NEC body of NUPENG.

“We are having another NEC meeting in Abuja on Jan. 10, to appraise the preparation for the planned strike and meet the government officials.

“It has been the practice of the Nigerian government to wait until the ultimatum day before they start to run from one place to other to find solutions to it.

“If this warning strike is not properly handled as we have mobilised to ensure success of our action, nobody should blame the union.”
