The union of oil workers has shut down the operations of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) nationwide, according to reports.
The decision was followed due to Tuesday’s unbundling of the corporation.
Online news platform, The Cable reports that members of staff and management of the corporation arrived their various offices this morning only to discover that they could not gain entrance following the total strike.
The immediate impact of the strike will be nationwide fuel scarcity as products will not be lifted by NUPENG. It is not expected to affect the crude oil export yet except the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) joins in solidarity.
