The National Industrial Court in Abuja has granted an interim injunction restraining the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Direct Trucking Company Drivers Association from embarking on any industrial action.
The court also barred the groups from compelling other truck drivers to join their planned strike.
E.D. Subilim, the judge, gave the ruling on Wednesday after hearing a motion ex parte filed by George Ibrahim, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and counsel to Dangote Refinery.
The order also restrained NUPENG and its affiliates from blocking Nigerian roads or frustrating and shutting down the operations of Dangote Refinery, MRS Oil Nigeria Limited, and MRS Oil and Gas Company Limited.
The judge said he was satisfied that irreparable damage could be caused to Dangote Refinery if the injunction was not granted.
The FOOLS with ulterior evil motive and self-serving who wished to regard themselves as trade bodies have taken us for a ride and far too long.
A new dawn is here to cut off the NONSENSE they represent.
GOOD judicial delivery!
COMMON SENSE NOW HERE.
At least some judges are beginning to wake up.
This is not monopoly because the government sold out operational linscences to those that have interest in the refining of the crude oil, but only dangote bought and build his refinery which others were not prevented from building too. So why crying monopoly when dangote has come out with a strategy on how to sell his products?
