Talks between the Federal Government, NUPENG, and the Dangote Group over alleged anti-labour practices at the private refinery ended in a deadlock at 12:03 am Tuesday.
The outcome means NUPENG’s three-day warning strike continues, with threats of escalation from PENGASSAN and over 30 other unions still on the table.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has placed 43 unions on red alert, while Labour Minister Mohammed Dingyadi confirmed fears of a looming energy crisis.
The marathon meeting, which dragged late into the night, failed to produce a compromise despite the presence of top labour leaders and industry representatives.
