TROUBLE LOOMS: As PENGASSAN threaten industrial action if President Buhari goes on with the call by Northerners to sale off the country's national assets

PENGASSAN

As a result of the purported plan to sell the national assets of Nigeria to some Muslim Northern cabals as grand plot to take indirectly take over the major economic hub of the country, using the current recession as an excuse to execute their strategy, there is the likelihood that there will be series of industrial actions and other forms of civil disobedience to force the current administration which has inflicted untold hardship on Nigerians.

Thus, report reaching us has it that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has debilitated to go on strike if the Federal Government offers national resources for sale.

The union's Public Relations' Officer, Mr Emmanuel Ojugbana, made this known in an announcement in Lagos, where he prompted the administration not to offer the assets in light of a legitimate concern for Nigerians.

Lately, calls were made by some Northerners with Alhaji Dangote leading the call for the sale of the assets to cushion financial retreat

Ojugbana depicted the moves as unpatriotic, saying that the deal would add more hardship to Nigerians.

He said that it wasn't right to tackle the nation's transient financial issue by giving over aggregate common treasure to a couple of people.

“We will not watch our national assets sold, especially those in the oil and gas industry such as NLNG that has become a huge revenue earner for Nigeria; refineries and shares in the upstream oil and gas JV operations.


“Any attempt to sell these assets will be resisted as PENGASSAN will ensure that every activity in the oil and gas sector is brought to a halt,” he held.
