Over 800 sacked workers remain a key issue as talks stall, fueling ongoing strike in oil sector.
A nine-hour conciliation meeting between the Federal Government, PENGASSAN, and Dangote Group over the dismissal of 800 workers ended with no agreement on reinstatement and unionisation. Minister of Labour Muhammad Dingyadi said progress was made, but key issues remain unresolved. PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo insisted the strike will persist until the workers are reinstated, condemning the labeling of workers as saboteurs. Finance Minister Wale Edun expressed concern over economic impact but remains optimistic for a resolution. The strike has severely disrupted oil sector operations amid fears of worsening fuel shortages.
