Support Staff Union members of the Port Harcourt Refining Company have taken a stand against the delay in paying their seven months' salaries and the non-adoption of the recently approved salary structure by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). They have given the management a 48-hour ultimatum to either implement the new salary structure or face a complete shutdown of the refinery.
The workers have been protesting at the entrance of the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) in Eleme, Rivers State, with banners and tents, causing temporary disruptions. The union alleges that the Refinery Coordinator has refused to implement the approved salary structure despite it being given the approval by the NNPCL's Group Chief Executive Officer, Bayo Ojulari.
Among their four key demands, the workers are seeking the implementation of the approved salary structure, N1m housing/rent relief, payment of their outstanding seven months' salaries, and improved consultation and engagement among refinery authorities and labor representatives.
