News Investigators/ The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) has warned that the ongoing industrial action by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) could amount to economic sabotage. NECA’s Director-General, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, made this known in a statement issued to journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, expressing concern about the potential economic impact of the union’s ongoing strike. “Disputes should be resolved through statutory institutions like the Industrial Arbitration Panel (IAP) and the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN),” he said. He stressed that disruptive actions that threatened national interest were unacceptable in modern labour relations, and NECA would not remain silent as Nigeria’s labour framework faced erosion. Mr Oyerinde urged the Minister of Labour and Employment, along with other relevant authorities, to act swiftly, warning that delays could damage job creation, investment flows, and national economic stability.
