Mr Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in a post on his official Twitter handle on Monday, praised the leadership of the unions for choosing the pursuit of the common good.
The NLC and TUC have agreed to suspend the planned labour strike on Monday morning.
In a tweet, Kyari said, “Being a former union leader, I understand the difficulties of labour leadership when faced with choices between stark realities and legitimate follower expectations. The leadership chose the pursuit of common good and posterity will vindicate us all for standing with our country.”
He further said that the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have by their action demonstrated absolute faith in Nigeria.
“They showed understanding on inevitability of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) deregulation and jointly charted the way forward to secure local refining sufficiency through greater stakeholder inclusiveness and transparency.
“We will follow through diligently,” he added.
