Vice-President Kashim Shettima says it was unnecessary for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to hold the nation to ransom over “a minor labour dispute”.
Shettima spoke on Monday at the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) held in Abuja.
On September 28, PENGASSAN commenced a nationwide strike over the dismissal of Nigerian workers by Dangote refinery.
On October 1, PENGASSAN suspended the strike after Dangote Group, the parent company of the refinery, agreed to redeploy the sacked workers.
Faulting the association’s move, the vice-president said Aliko Dangote, president of the Dangote Group, is not an individual but an institution.
He added Dangote is “a leading light in Nigeria’s economic parliament”.
“And how we treat this gentleman will determine how outsiders will judge us. If he had invested $10 billion in Microsoft, in Amazon, in Google, probably he might be worth $70 to $80 billion by now. But he opted to invest in his country and we owe it to future generations to jealously protect, promote, preserve, and project the interests of this great Nigeria,” Shettima said.
