The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, and the National Union of Food Beverage and Tobacco Employees, NUFBTE, have directed their members nationwide to prepare for a possible strike over Wednesday’s attack and brutalization of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, and other Labour leaders in Owerri, Imo State.
The attack, brutalization and the battering of Ajaero has elicited outrage and condemnation across the country. According to the Association it “is a blatant violation of human rights and an assault on the principles of democracy, freedom of expression and association. “PENGASSAN demands that the authorities conduct a thorough investigation into this cowardly attack and bring the perpetrators to justice. We call on law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of all workers, activists and union leaders, providing them with the necessary protection to carry out their essential duties without fear of reprisal.
“All PENGASSAN members are hereby put on red alert as the days ahead will be stormy and tumultuous. We urge all trade unions and the two labour centers to respond to this ugly act in a very drastic way because injury to one is truly an injury to all.
