COURT ORDERS PENGASSAN TO RECALL SUSPENDED MEMBERS

The National Industrial Court on Thursday in Abuja ordered the Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers Association (PENGASSAN) to recall its suspended members, pending the determination of the substantive suit filed in the court.
PENGASSAN had suspended some members of its Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEF) Branch, in spite of a court directive that none of the parties should take any further action until the suit was determined.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the suspended members had gone to court, asking the court to stop some persons from parading themselves as leaders of the union in the branch.

This, they said, was as a result of an inconclusive election in November 2015 which failed to produce an executive committee for the branch.
