Fuel Scarcity Returns again As Oil Workers Go On Indefinite Strike

Just when Nigerians thought that the recent fuel scarcity would be coming to an end, latest news reveals that that isn’t the case as oil workers shut down all NNPC locations nationwide and went on an indefinite strike.

Earlier in the week the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr.Ibe Kachikwu, stated that NNPC would be unbundled into 30 profit-making companies with separate Managing Directors in the weeks ahead as part of the ongoing transformation of the national oil company.

This disclosure didn’t go down well with the players in the industry, and as a result the Group Executive Councils of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) in a meeting yesterday stated that after “extensively discussing the pronouncement of the GMD on NNPC unbundling…observed that the GMD/HMSP totally disregarded due process and failed to engage stakeholders” They therefore resolved that “…from midnight today (Tuesday, March 8), all NNPC locations will be shut down completely until further notice. Further directives will be communicated accordingly”.

According to Vanguard, some of the workers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, chided the Federal Government, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu and the management of the NNPC for taking such decision which concerns and affect the future of the workers without due consultations.

Just in! Fulani Herdsmen Kill 40 Farmers In another Fresh Attack

As Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom battles to ensure the return of sustainable peace in the war-torn Agatu communities of the state following invasion of the area by suspected Fulani insurgents, the invaders last Thursday extended their attack to nine villages in the homestead of former governor of the state, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, leaving at least 40 people dead.

Many people are reported wounded, several houses as well as farmlands produce burnt to ashes, while hordes of other people are still missing just as the entire has been deserted.

The recent attack by the herders on innocent farmers in the area is coming barely 10 days after the insurgents invaded the densely populated Ukemberagya community in Logo Local Government Area killing one person. It was learnt that trouble started when the Fulani herdsmen drove their cattle for grazing on the compound of one Mr. Orvesen of Tswarev community last Thursday.

It was gathered that attempts by the Tiv villagers to drive the cows out of the compound was resisted by the herders who insisted on feeding their animals on the dried cassava, a development that sparked off a sharp disagreement between the two parties.
