The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria will on May 12 and 13 deliberate on the new pump price of petrol announced by Federal Government.
Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, the South West Chairman of NUPENG, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Wednesday.
According to Korodo, it is too early to make any official statement until the two bodies meet to deliberate on the matter.
He said the meeting would discuss the new development and come out with a stand on the matter.
Korodo, however, said no official of the two oil workers labour unions was authorised to speak on the new pump price as announced by the government.
NAN reports that the Federal Government on May 11 announced a new price regime for petrol, with the highest price of N145 per litre.
The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency said in Abuja that the new price regime had taken effect from May 11.
The NNPC, however, advised its retail stations on the outskirts of major cities to sell at prices lower than N145 per litre.
