WE'RE SATISFIED WITH FG'S EFFORTS TO FIX PORT HARCOURT REFINERY, SAYS PENGASSAN. (PHOTO).

We’re satisfied with FG’s efforts to fix Port Harcourt refinery, says PENGASSAN

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has said it is satisfied with the federal government’s efforts to fix the Port Harcourt refinery.
It also urged the federal government to keep to its promise to ensure that the Port Harcourt refinery would start working by December this year.
The Port Harcourt Zonal Secretary of PENGASSAN, Comrade Nnana Okeke said this in Uyo on the sidelines of a 4-day retreat organised for the Executive leaders of the zone by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) in conjunction with Facilitation and Training Services Limited.
Okeke said that the Port Harcourt refinery and other local refineries when functional will crash the pump price of fuel and alleviate the sufferings currently faced by Nigerians.
Should the Port Harcourt refinery fail to work by December, Okeke said: “We will go back and restrategize. Our leadership at the national level told us that the Federal government said it will deliver on its promise, so for now let’s give them (FG) the benefit of the doubt.”
He said that PENGASSAN was in support of the removal of fuel Subsidy and the efforts of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to provide palliatives to cushion the effects of the removal.
Okeke added: “As an association, we are not against fuel subsidy removal. But we requested that if it must be removed there are certain measures that need to be put in place to mitigate the effects of fuel subsidy removal on the citizens.
“We requested that Palliative measures be provided and that the transportation system be improved because workers have to go to work. Another thing we requested is let’s make our refineries work.
“By doing so, we will reduce our dependence on importation of the petroleum products. And the Federal government has assured us that by December the Port Harcourt Refinery will start working.
“So, we believe that when we start refining locally definitely that will reduce the price of fuel. Those were among the things we put forward. Actually, we sympathize with the masses because this is something that is affecting everybody”
On speculation in some quarters that the price of fuel pumps would be increased further, he responded, “Federal government has told us officially that they are not going to increase the fuel pump price beyond what it is currently. That’s what they’ve told us”
The PENGASSAN zonal leader appreciated the management of NCDMB and its consultant for organising the retreat tagged “Professional and Personal Effectiveness” to help them update and improve their leadership skills in the zone.
Also in his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer for Facilitation and Training Services Limited, Olumide Ajomale, said the NCDMB has deemed it fit to provide a platform for the zonal Executives of PENGASSAN to go through this programme specifically to enrich and strengthen their leadership skills.
“It is an opportunity for the officers to come together and learn about contemporary issues in leadership, on how to improve communication skills. We are also going to delve into areas around Employment laws, and industrial relations in the Oil and Gas industry.
“So this is a platform to deepen skills and ensure that they leave here better. Considering that these are union leaders, in the oil and Gas sector, when you have people who are better informed, with the relevant skills they can manage things more effectively.
“And when we talk about managing things more effectively, they can get better results. So the retreat is useful for them in their various organizations, how to manage the resources available. And because the world is changing continuous learning is required for our survival.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
