The resolve, determination, precision and speed with which the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN took on Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, frightened the ruling elites.
They clearly had written off the Nigerian working people and their ability to strike if necessary. The elites had come to the conclusion that the Nigerian people are conquered and can be trampled upon at will. The labour reaction which started with the resolve of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, to stand up to the Dangote Plc and its attempts to trample the rights of workers into the dust, was also a warning to elites who seek to enslave the people. So, after being staggered, these elites are admonishing labour for setting a bad example.
