He said the PENGASSAN National President, Comrade
Francis Johnson, lauded Baru for being a “labour-
friendly Chief Executive’’, assuring him of “more
union support as he pilots the affairs of the
NNPC’’.
Responding, Baru said NNPC management under his
leadership had witnessed unprecedented
collaboration with labour representatives at all levels
of the union structure.
He said this had engendered cordial industrial
relations with positive effect on productivity.
He said that NNPC as a foremost organisation within
the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry was a champion of
regulatory compliance in all its operational activities,
especially labour laws and domesticated
International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions. He said that this had been demonstrated in the
central role NNPC often played in resolving industrial
disputes across the industry.
“Our commitment to the promotion of social
dialogue and tri-partism, one of the four strategic
objectives of the ILO, is resolute.
“In this regard, management has ensured full
representation at the quarterly Chapter Joint
Consultative Committee, Branch Joint Consultative
Committee and the Group Executive Council
meetings,” Baru said.
He said that the current efforts of all parties toward
sustainable peace in the industry would be intensified
in preparation for the challenges of the future.
Baru assured that the accolades and recognition
extended to him and other top management of NNPC
by the union would spur them for greater
collaboration and synergy.
In addition to Baru’s award, 47 other top
management of the NNPC and retirees, were given
different categories of the PENGASSAN award.
