Ahead of its planned strike, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers on Thursday, extended the 14-day ultimatum earlier given to the Federal Government by seven days.
This is contained in a statement issued by the union’s General Secretary, Mr Afolabi Olawale, in Lagos.
Recall that NUPENG had, on November 15, issued the 14-day ultimatum to embark on a nationwide strike due to what it called non-implementation of an agreement earlier reached with the government.
NAN also reports that the issues at stake include non-payment of workers’ salaries and title benefits, among others.
