LPG Retailers Not to Blame for Gas Price Hike, Says LPGAR

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Retailers Association of Nigeria (LPGAR) has said that gas retailers are not responsible for the current increase in the price and scarcity of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas. In a statement issued on Saturday in Lagos, the Chairman of LPGAR under the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Mr. Ayobami Olarinoye, said the rising cost of LPG is caused by supply challenges, not manipulation by retailers. “The recent scarcity and price spike have brought hardship to many Nigerian homes and businesses. We understand this pain, but retailers should not be blamed,” Olarinoye said. His statement followed claims by the president of the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM), who accused retailers of contributing to the price surge. Olarinoye described the allegation as “unfair and misleading,” explaining that […]

NUPENG Brands Oshiomhole ‘Judas Iscariot’ of Workers

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has launched a scathing attack on Senator Adams Oshiomhole, calling him the "Judas Iscariot of Nigerian trade unionism." The union's strong condemnation follows Oshiomhole's comments criticizing a strike by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) at the Dangote Refinery. NUPENG accused the former labour leader of betraying the working class and defending "corporate oppression." In a lengthy statement, NUPENG asserted that Oshiomhole's stance against the workers' right to unionize is a "reprehensible attack" on fundamental rights and a distortion of labour laws. They challenged him to point to any law that supports his views. As a result of his comments, NUPENG has declared Senator Oshiomhole persona non grata, meaning they will no longer engage with him or attend events where he is featured. The union has pledged its […]

Tanker Drivers Back PTD, NUPENG Leaders, Disown ‘Elders Forum’

Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) across Nigeria have passed a vote of confidence on their national leadership and disowned a group calling itself the 'PTD Elders Forum'. Drivers from the Kaduna, Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Warri zones addressed journalists in Lagos, labeling the 'Elders Forum' as an unrecognized and faceless group. They accused it of spreading false information to create discord within the union. The drivers affirmed that Comrade Augustine Egbon, elected on July 3, 2024, is their legitimate National Chairman. They stated that the PTD's bylaws and the NUPENG constitution do not recognize any 'Elders Forum'. Spokespersons from the various zones praised the current leadership for its transparency and support. They highlighted benefits like health insurance and prompt resolution of issues with employers and truck owners as evidence of the union's effectiveness. The drivers urged security agencies to apprehend the […]

JUST IN: Dangote Refinery denies mass sack, says workforce shake-up targets sabotage

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has confirmed a sweeping reorganisation of its operations and workforce, but denied reports of a mass sack of workers. In a letter dated September 24, 2025, signed by Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management Femi Adekunle, the refinery said the move was triggered by “many recent cases of reported sabotage in different units of the Petroleum Refinery leading to major safety concerns.” The 650,000 barrels per day facility, which began production in 2024, directed affected staff to hand over company property to their line managers and await clearance for entitlements to be computed by the Finance Department. A senior official of the refinery, however, dismissed media reports of an en masse dismissal, insisting the exercise was a reorganisation to curb sabotage and plug leakages within the plant. “Yes, the letter is correct. But […]

Importers: Dangote Petrol N65 Cheaper in Togo Than Nigeria

Fuel importers have alleged that the Dangote Refinery sells petrol to international traders in Lomé, Togo, at prices N65 cheaper per litre than those offered to Nigerian marketers. The claim was confirmed in separate interviews by the Depot and Petroleum Product Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN). Dangote Refinery recently announced a price cut — from N865/litre to N841 in Lagos/Southwest, and N851 in Abuja, Edo, and Kwara — alongside its direct fuel distribution rollout. But marketers argue the refinery undercuts local buyers by giving discounts abroad. DAPPMAN’s Executive Secretary, Olufemi Adewole, told Sunday PUNCH that members had purchased Dangote’s fuel in Lomé at cheaper rates than locally, saying: “Dangote is selling to international traders at N65 lower than what he is selling to us. We’ve even bought from those […]

NUPENG Protests Dangote’s Alleged Anti-Union Practices

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has accused Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, of pursuing an “anti-union agenda” in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. In a joint statement released Friday in Abuja, NUPENG’s National President, Williams Akporeha, and Secretary General, Afolabi Olawale, alleged that Dangote and his cousin, Sayyu Dantata, were working to establish a monopoly that would undermine workers’ rights, unions, and economic justice. “NUPENG is seriously concerned and disturbed with the unconscionable business practices of Alhaji Sayyu Aliu Dantata and Alhaji Aliko Dangote who are scared of allowing unions to exist in their business outfits,” the statement read. The union expressed particular alarm over Dangote’s plan to import 10,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks for fuel distribution. According to NUPENG, new drivers recruited under this scheme are being compelled to sign agreements barring them […]
