Nigeria’s oil and gas union, PENGASSAN, called on the new board of NNPC to act fast on the challenges facing the industry. In a letter to the new NNPC boss, Mele Kyari, signed by the General-Secretary Comrade Lumumba Okugbawa, the union said challenges such as pipeline vandalism, crude oil theft, inadequate infrastructure and pricing uncertainties should be looked into.
“We agree that the nation’s oil and gas industry is on a steady progression to the next level. However, the challenges associated with pipeline vandalism, crude oil theft, inadequate infrastructure, pricing uncertainties, and the obsolete refineries as well as the contentious fuel subsidy issues and resting of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), are issues the Nigerian masses expect the new NNPC Board to champion.”
The union described Kyari’s appointment as well-deserved and a recognition of his 27 years of contributions and exemplary service to the NNPC group, the nation’s oil and gas sector and the growing economy that is majorly dependent on the industry.
