A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Uchechukwu Val Obi, has faulted the seven-day ultimatum given by Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to the Federal Government to direct Neconde Energy Limited to recall its sacked employees or risk an industrial action.
Obi, who is the counsel to Neconde Energy Limited, argued that PENGASAN’s ultimatum was made in bad faith and with a view to overreaching the pending proceedings at the National Industrial Court.
He recalled that in the Suit Number NICN/LA/268/2017 between Neconde Energy Limited & Anor. Vs. PENGASSAN & Ors, Justice O. A. Obaseki-Osaghae on June 5 ordered “that none of the parties should take any action that will lead to a break down in law and order pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.”
In a letter dated December 8, 2017 and addressed to Comrades Francis Johnson, Lumumba I.
