Workers of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission have suspended their one-day industrial action.
The strike was called off on the night of June 1, 2026 after successful negotiations between the top management of the NUPRC and the two in-house unions – the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), the Commission’s
Head, Media and Corporate Communications, Eniola Akinkuotu, said in a statement.
The management of NUPRC promised to improve the operating environment of its workforce and prioritise staff development in line with the Petroleum Industry Act.
The strike which lasted for 12 hours affected only administrative work while regulatory activities in oil and gas facilities remained unaffected.
The statement quoted the Commission to have implored members of the public to disregard false reports on crude oil production disruptions as well as misleading publications stating that the disagreement centered on foreign training.
