The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior
0:02
Staff Association of Nigeria, widely
0:04
known as Penasan, has rejected the
0:08
recent executive order issued by
0:10
President Ba Amedinu concerning the
0:13
operations of the Nigerian National
0:15
Petroleum Company Limited, also known as
0:18
NNPCL.
0:20
In a strongly worded response, the union
0:23
expressed concerns over what it
0:25
described as potential implications of
0:28
the executive order on transparency,
0:31
governance structure, and the overall
0:35
independence of the national oil
0:37
company.
0:39
Pengasan argued that any major reforms
0:42
affecting the oil and gas sector must
0:45
prioritize due process, stakeholder
0:48
consultation and the long-term interest
0:50
of the Nigerian workers.
0:52
>> Executive order that was signed by the
0:54
president yesterday is in direct attack.
0:59
The executive order is believed to be
1:01
part of broader efforts by the federal
1:04
government to restructure and strengthen
1:07
the energy sector. However, Labor
1:10
representatives insist that policies of
1:13
this magnitude should not sideline
1:16
industry professionals and union whose
1:19
members are directly affected. Energy
1:22
analysts say the disagreement highlights
1:25
the delicate balance between reforming
1:27
state-owned enterprises and maintaining
1:30
confidence among investors and workers.
1:34
Nigeria's oil sector remains the
1:36
backbone of the nation's economy,
1:39
contributing significantly to government
1:41
revenue and foreign exchange earnings.
1:46
As debates intensify, many Nigerians are
1:49
watching closely to see whether dialogue
1:51
between the government and labor unions
1:54
will lead to compromise or further
1:56
tensions within the energy industry.

What is your take on this development?
2:02

2:04
strengthen NNPCL or could it create new
2:08
challenges for the sector? Let us hear

army. We must have one currency. We must
2:30
have one foreign policy. We must be

united.
