Another Fuel Scarcity in the loom

Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria ( PENGASSAN) yesterday commenced an industrial action.
The union announced the gradual withdrawal of its members on the offshore, loading bays and flow stations.
But After a media report in one of the television stations claiming  that the strike had been called off, the association said that the strike had actually begun not minding the Eid el-Fitr public holidays declared by the federal government.
The union stated their reasons for the action as follows: (1) irregular Joint Venture (JV) funding and cash call payment arrears,
(2) lack of a clear-cut direction on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB),
(3) forceful co-option of government agencies in the industry into the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and
(4) the spate of redundancy and retrenchments in the oil and gas industry.
Meanwhile Nigerians expressed their dismay over having to go through scarsity again.
