his comes two weeks after Unite the union served a notice of action to Petrofac. In an update on Wednesday, the union disclosed that the strike is going ahead and outlined that its members, which are working for Petrofac on Repsol’s platforms, will take part in industrial action starting on 16 November 2022 with a continuous overtime ban and 48-hour stoppage taking place on 16 and 17 November.
According to General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, the incident occurred at 15:01Hrs, today after several 330kV transmission lines and 33kV feeder-lines across the power system network had been switched off by the Union members, resulting in generation-load imbalance and multiple voltage escalations at critical stations and substations.
The striking workers claimed that the Federal Government has done everything possible through the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) to ensure issues are settled amicably but Addax Management is frustrating every move by NAPIMS and other stakeholders to resolve the issue.
We once again laud President Tinubu for his bold vision and stand ready to collaborate with his administration in its effort to promote greater economic equality and prosperity for all Nigerians.
