The Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari has extolled the accord reached by organised labour and the federal government to avert the industrial action scheduled to commence today.
In a tweet, commended the decision of labour leaders to suspend their planned nationwide strike.
He tweeted:
“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.”
“They showed understanding on inevitability of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) deregulation and jointly charted way forward to secure local refining sufficiency through greater stakeholder inclusiveness and transparency.
“We will follow through diligently”, he added.
Labour had called for the strike against the recent hike in petrol and electricity price across the country.
