Ngige wants to proscribe NUPENG out of vendetta – Union President
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has accused the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, of scheming to proscribe the union.
The board was constituted by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in October 2017 in his capacity as Acting President with a former NUPENG leader, Frank Kokori, as chairman. Mr Akporeha said the attack on the union was an escalation of the violent attacks on organised labour’s peaceful rallies over the minister’s failure to inaugurate the Board of the NSITF with Mr Kokori as the chairman.
”Our fears were however confirmed further when we realised that it was only NUPENG that was instructed to submit its financial returns,” he said.
