The President, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Mr. Francis Johnson, has been re-elected for a second term of three years.

A statement on Tuesday said that Johnson emerged the winner during the 5th Triennial Delegates’ Conference of the trade union after contesting against Mohammed Saleh of National Petroleum Investment Management Services and Emmanuel Eze of the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company.

According to the statement, Johnson was elected for the first term in June 2014.

It stated that other elected executives of the association were Deputy President, Frank Esanubi from Chevron; and National Industrial Relations Officer, Ndukaku Ohaeri from NLNG, who was re-elected after defeating the former Port Harcourt Zonal Secretary, Elo Victor-Ogbonda.

It added that Eleas Eduga of Nigeria Agip Oil Company was also re-elected as National Financial Secretary; Victor Ononokpono of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency emerged as the Treasurer; and Fortune Obi of Shell Petroleum became the National Public Relations Officer.

The statement read in part, “Evelyn Ijeoma of Fugro was re-elected as National Women in PENGASSAN Chairperson; Yon Paul Naron of PPPRA also re-elected as National Auditor 1, and Timothy Jaiyeoba was elected National Auditor 2.”

The association said the new executive officers would be joined by six others who had earlier been elected at the zonal elections that took place in Abeokuta, Yola, and Asaba, adding that the elections of the zonal chairman and other three notable positions for the Port Harcourt zone were nullified due to irregularities.

In his acceptance speech, Johnson reiterated that security of members’ jobs would form the fulcrum of his regime.

“Under no guise will we allow our members to lose their jobs. We will fight any form of un-procedural redundancies or restructuring that affect our members. We are ready to collaborate with the government and other agents towards the development and growth of our industry,” he stated.
