The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior
Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), has accused Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, as insensitive to
plights of workers in the oil and gas industry.
Speaking during the opening ceremony of the 3rd Triennial Delegates
Conference of PENGASSAN branch in the Pipelines and Products Marketing
Company Limited (PPMC) in Abeokuta, Ogun State Wednesday, the
association President, Comrade Babatunde Ogun, said the minister does
not care about workers in the sector.
He stated that PENGASSAN will support
the PPMC branch’s decision to withdraw the services of members if
government fails to find killers of some of its members at Arepo, Ogun
state.
Ogun said, “The minister that has the
oversight over the oil and gas industry does not care about the workers.
Since the minister assumed duties, she has never met with the workers.
Every entreaties and efforts to meet with the minister and tell her our
challenges and problems failed because the minister is not ready to
listen.
