The leadership of Petroleum and
Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) is suspending the
plan to disrupt crude oil production in protest against the arrest and detention
of 22 ExxonMobil workers by the government of Rivers State.
The decision to stand down the
planned action followed the release on Sunday of the detained workers by the
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
The union had issued a directive to
members to suspend all oil production and maintenance services from midnight of
Sunday, April 19 in protest against the continued detention of ExxonMobil staff
in Rivers State.
It also directed that by 12 noon on
Monday, April 20, members should withdraw all forms of services relating
to crude oil production, refining, distribution and supplies across the
country.
