It would be recalled that the intervention of Malam Mele Kyari, NNPC Group Managing Director, led to the suspension of the strike by the PTD for one week. Also in the week, the Petroleum Tanker Drivers section of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) suspended its industrial action. “I don’t know the curriculum in the NDC, but obviously, energy security is part of national security,” Kyari said. In the week under review, the NNPC Trading, a subsidiary of the NNPC, was certified as fully compliant with the National Fire Safety Code. The NNPC Trading boss assured that his leadership would ensure that all safety operating standards were fully upheld in line with the NNPC policy of zero-tolerance for workplace accidents.
