The Management of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC on Friday opened discussion with the
leadership of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria (PENGASSAN).
The move is to stop the union members from going ahead with their proposed industrial action.
Group General Manager, Public Affairs
Division, NNPC, Garba Deen Muhammad, said in a statement in Abuja
Friday that the Corporation has commenced talks with the leadership of
the Union to address their grievances.
Mohammed further said, NNPC has assured
that it is doing everything possible to guarantee that the prevailing
sanity in the supply and distribution of petroleum products across the
country, which was achieved with the recent downstream liberation policy
is sustained.
He however, cautioned members of the
public from embarking on any form of panic buying of petroleum
products in anticipation of product scarcity due to the strike by
members of the union.
He said the corporation has in stock
enough products to satisfy local consumption for the next 45 days noting
that there is no need for motorists and other users of petroleum
products to embark on frenzied wholesale purchase in anticipation of
scarcity.
