NUPENG Blocks Dangote Refinery Gate Amid Collapsed Agreement

Tension flared on Saturday as members of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) mobilised truck drivers to block the main gate of Dangote Refinery following the collapse of an undisclosed agreement between both parties.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that long queues of trucks were deliberately parked at the refinery entrance in what has been described as an unlawful and desperate move. Neither Dangote Group nor its drivers are registered members of NUPENG, a fact that has left many citizens questioning the legality of the blockade.

In response, Dangote reportedly began mobilising towing vehicles to clear the obstruction in order to allow operations to continue. NUPENG, however, has vowed to deploy more trucks, escalating tensions around the facility.

Citizens have expressed dissatisfaction over the development, lamenting that such union tactics not only disrupt legitimate business activities but also risk undermining national economic stability. Observers are particularly concerned about the silence of government authorities in the face of what they describe as harassment of a private enterprise.

While the refinery faces obstruction, Dangote Industries has continued to stress its focus on productivity, making fuel available to the market at relatively lower prices compared to importers. Many see this as proof of the company’s business-friendly posture, contrasting sharply with NUPENG’s disruptive actions.

For now, Nigerians watch with concern as the standoff unfolds, hoping government intervention will restore order and protect citizens’ interest.

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh. Abdullahi Kuku and Alh. Usman Ode, a one time contender to the exalted throne of Osu, as both were on ground. Typical of traditional tussles, in...
