The Nigeria Union
of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), yesterday called on the
Federal Government to stop Chevron and Shell Petroleum Development
Company (SPDC), from extending the planned sack of 18,500 workers
globally to Nigeria, Vanguard reports.
NUPENG in a
statement by its President, Mr. Igwe Achese, insisted that the union was
worried and concerned about the purported sack threat of about 18,500
workers, though, globally in Chevron and Shell, describing the planned
sack as alarming.
It claimed the
planned sack was a sack too many, as oil workers in Chevron Nigeria and
Shell would be affected, as the two companies had adduced dwindling oil
prices in the international market for the planned sack.
