October 05, (THEWILL) — The Nigerian economy may have suffered over N180 billion industry-specific loss in the recent strike embarked upon by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) which lasted for three days. THEWILL reports that both PENGASSAN and the management of the 650,000 barrel-per day refinery had been at loggerheads. However, the PENGASSAN has been widely condemned by Nigerians who accuse them of economic sabotage, selfish interest and greed. The Dangote Refinery had no kind words for the senior and junior staff unions of the oil and gas industry. Beyond policy obstruction, Dangote Refinery accused the association of mismanaging billions of naira in annual check-off dues to bankroll the ‘lavish lifestyles’ of its leaders, without accountability to members.
