The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has ordered all its members nationwide to begin an indefinite strike over Federal Government’s breach in agreement on IPPIS implementation and redundancy in Baker Hughes.
IPPIS means
Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). It is an
information Communications Technology (ICT) project initiated by the Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of
payroll administration for its Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The
association had on November 2, 2020, issued 7-day ultimatum and further
extension to the relevant government agencies and institutions on IPPIS.
However,
PENGASSAN, in a statement to all branch chairmen and signed by Comrade Lumumba
Okugbawa, General Secretary, said said it was regrettable that upon the
expiration of the ultimatum, nothing concrete had been done with regards to the
outstanding issues as enumerated in the letter.
“In view of
the above and with expiration of the ultimatum and subsequent extension, you
are hereby advised to withdraw your services effective 12 midnight on Sunday,
November 8, 2020.
“Please
ensure that your branch members fully comply with this directive while you
await further directives,” the statement said.
The statement
urged all zonal offices to monitor compliance and report same to the National
Secretariat.
