PENGASSAN protests over Oil theft
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria launched a nationwide protest against crude oil theft on Thursday.
Sources at the Unity Fountain in Abuja observed that the oil workers carried banners with inscriptions such as ‘Chasing Oil Thieves And Vandals Out Of Business and ‘Oil Theft Is Illegal’.
PENGASSAN President, Festus Osifo, said President Muhammadu Buhari should issue a marching order to heads of security agencies tasked with the security of oil pipelines in the Niger Delta during a march that began this morning at the Unity Fountain in Abuja.
He also threatened that oil workers would stop working if the government did not take decisive action against oil thieves.
