The Federal Government has appealed to the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) to reconsider its decision to embark on a nationwide strike starting Monday, September 8, 2025.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, made the call in a statement signed by the ministry’s head of information, Patience Onuobia.
He also urged the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to withdraw the red alert it issued to affiliate unions in support of the petroleum workers, who are protesting alleged anti-worker and anti-union practices by the Dangote Group.
