The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, is calling on the Federal Government to take action against Aliko Dangote. According to PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo, the government needs to rein in Dangote and remind him that Nigeria is a nation governed by laws and rules.

In an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Osifo stated that no individual, regardless of their wealth, is above the law. He emphasized that President Bola Tinubu, as the country’s leader, is committed to upholding the law and cannot unilaterally make decisions that violate it. Osifo’s comments suggest that Dangote’s actions are being perceived as an attempt to disregard the country’s laws and regulations.

The PENGASSAN president’s statement highlights the importance of adhering to the rule of law in Nigeria. As a major player in the country’s oil and gas industry, Dangote’s actions are likely to have significant implications. Osifo’s call for the government to intervene serves as a reminder that all individuals and organizations must operate within the boundaries of the law.

The Nigerian government has not yet responded to PENGASSAN’s call to action. However, the situation underscores the need for effective regulation and oversight in the country’s oil and gas sector. As Nigeria continues to navigate the complexities of its energy industry, the government must balance the interests of various stakeholders, including business leaders like Dangote, with the need to uphold the law and protect the public interest.

The development is significant, given the critical role that the oil and gas industry plays in Nigeria’s economy. The government’s response to PENGASSAN’s call will be closely watched, as it will have implications for the Sector’s future development and the country’s overall economic growth. With the government’s attention drawn to the matter, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and what steps will be taken to address the concerns raised by PENGASSAN.
