Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, and the
Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, have suspended
their strike in Cross River State.

embarked on the strike on the 23rd of May.
The unions announced the suspension
of the strike yesterday in Calabar after a three-hour closed door meeting with
the Cross River Government.
National Treasurer of NUPENG, Canaan

imposition of N12, 800 daily levy on each tanker loading petrol at depots in
the state.David-Otu said that during the meeting, the State Government assured that the levy would be discontinued.
Earlier, the Chairman of IPMAN in the state, Lawrence Agim, thanked Governor. Ben Ayade for providing a conducive environment for petroleum marketers in the state to carry out their businesses.
