The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has directed its members across key oil and gas companies to halt supply of crude oil and gas to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
The directive was in reaction to the alleged sack of 800 workers by Dangote Petroleum Refinery last Thursday.
In a memo by the General Secretary of PENGASSAN, Comrade Lumumba Okugbawa, to Branch chairmen in TotalEnergies, Renaissances, Chevron, Shell Nigeria Gas, Oando, and Seplat Producing Nigeria Unlimited. PENGASSAN directed the immediate shutdown of valves and suspension of all crude loading operations to the facility.
“INGC chairman, ensure that gas supply to the refinery is cut off effective immediately,” the directive reads in part.
The development further hightens the rift between Dangote Refinery and the association over the sack of about 800 workers.
