Looming Fuel Scarcity As NUPENG Commences Warning Strike

Published

on

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has declared a nationwide strike beginning from today.

The strike which will affect the flow of petrol to filling stations, has shut down seven crude flow stations in the Niger Delta, a union official said on Wednesday.

The strike is in protest over pay and job losses. NUPENG is one of several labour unions that have criticised oil companies for sacking workers in the last few months.

“Filling stations, petrol tankers and all NUPENG members are involved,” Cogent Ojobo, NUPENG’s Warri zonal chairman, said.
The union said the strike would last for three days and involve around 10,000 workers.

Ojobo said union officials would hold talks with the labour minister in the capital, Abuja, later on Wednesday. “If the issues at stake are resolved and a communique signed, the strike would be called off,” he said.

He also said workers had gone on strike at seven crude oil flow stations in and around Oleh, a town in Delta state, which is in the Niger Delta.

“Seven flow stations belonging to NPDC were shut by the workers and they are still shut now,” Ojobo said. He also said the workers, who are employed by contractors, say they have not been paid. The flow stations were shut on Tuesday.
The Labour ministry spokesman was not immediately available to comment.

Nigeria has been hit hard by a slump in crude oil prices in the past two years, which helped to push the country into recession. A wave of militant attacks in the southern Niger Delta oil hub throughout 2016 has hampered production.
Ndu Ughamadu, a spokesman for Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), a subsidiary of the state-run oil company NNPC, said checks were being made to establish whether the Niger Delta flow stations had been affected.

Actor Amaechi Muonagor Calls For Financial Aid... | Fab.ng

Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor is facing a health crisis. In a video circulating on social media on Monday, March 18th, 2024, the beloved actor appeared frail, lying in bed. The purpose of the video was to appeal to Nigerians for financial assistance.

Actor Kingsley Orji, present at Muonagor’s bedside, voiced the plea for help on Muonagor’s behalf. The funds are urgently needed to cover the costs of a kidney transplant surgery planned to take place in India.

Orji said,

“It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant. What we want is for you to help us for him to travel to India. He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi Teaching Hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.”

Actor Kingsley Orji added another concerning detail: Amaechi Muonagor’s kidney problems have also affected his ability to speak clearly.

“We decided to bring him home because there was no money, but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help,” he said.

The post caption read,

Special Public Appeal on our Veteran Nollywood actor Amechi Monagor, please my brothers and sisters lets help him more to go for the kidney transplant in india.”

Back in early November of last year, Amaechi Muonagor revealed some difficult news. He had been diagnosed with kidney failure. To make matters worse, he also suffered a stroke that left him paralysed on one side of his body.

Further narrating, he said,

“I’m sick, this thing that is called stroke caught up with me, and from there they rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital they rushed me to was in Nnewi, where I spent some two months and I was referred to Teaching Hospital Nnewi and here I am. I was on a movie set with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro. I was about to enter my car when I was struck with this problem, and since then it has been getting worse.”

He also asked Nigerians to come to his aid, saying, “I’m calling on well-minded individuals to come to my assistance, to see how they can help me. It is paralysis, half of my body. Right now, I can’t move, I can’t walk on my own. Half of my left leg is paralysed, so it is a problem for me.”
