Bosun Olabiyi-Agoro succeeded Festus Osifo as the new President of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) on Saturday. Olabiyi-Agoro, who has over 20 years of experience in Nigeria's oil and gas industry, vowed to fight against casualisation and prolonged contract staffing in the industry during his first major address as President.
During his acceptance speech, Olabiyi-Agoro paid tribute to his predecessor, Osifo, who he described as a "leader, builder, and fighter" whose tenure strengthened PENGASSAN's influence within the oil and gas industry. Olabiyi-Agoro promised that his administration would focus on job protection, negotiating just transition agreements, retraining, and redeployment for workers during divestments, restructuring, automation, and the global energy transition.
The new President also pledged to defend collective bargaining agreements and protect the welfare of workers by investing in digital skills, leadership development, and women's empowerment.
