The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has announced that its members will embark on a nationwide strike starting Monday, September 8, 2025, over alleged anti-union labour practices linked to the deployment of newly imported Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks by Dangote Refinery.Nigerian fashion trends
In a statement signed by its National President, Prince Williams Akporeha, and General Secretary, Afolabi Olawale, the union said the development violates workers’ rights and undermines existing trade unions in the oil and gas sector.
NUPENG recalled that on June 14, 2025, Alhaji Aliko Dangote announced plans to import 4,000 CNG trucks—later raised to 10,000—for nationwide distribution of petroleum and diesel products. While initially seen as a welcome investment, the move sparked concerns from stakeholders.
