Nigerian government to meet oil workers’ union after strike halts nationwide supply

LAGOS, Nigeria — A critical meeting is scheduled between Nigerian government officials and representatives of the country’s oil workers union on Monday, following a nationwide strike triggered by the dismissal of 800 employees at Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest refining facility. The strike, initiated by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), has disrupted operations across key oil and gas institutions, threatening to halt national supply chains.
