th 6 1

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.
