Works minister to PENGASSAN: shun strike action, prioritise national interest…as investor risks EFCC interrogation over $250m loss claimThe Minister of Works, David Umahi, has urged the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to prioritize national interest in its dispute with the Dangote Group, warning that any strike at this sensitive time would damage Nigeria’s fragile economic recovery.
The Minister further urged her to account for the funds she claimed to have raised from diaspora investors or submit herself for investigation by anti-graft agencies.
Civil society groups that initially supported her protests have since withdrawn, describing her claims as unfounded and misleading.
Sowunmi, who also spoke after the tour, praised the project as a masterpiece and lauded President Bola Tinubu’s infrastructure vision under the Renewed Hope agenda.
He urged Nigerians to rise above partisan politics and support projects that secure the nation’s future.
