Gbenga Adebayo, alleged: \u201cWe have received credible reports that members of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, and the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria NOGASA, on Tuesday, blocked access to diesel loading depots in Kaduna, Lagos, and Koko (Delta State), preventing the distribution of diesel to thousands of telecommunications sites operated by one of our key members, IHS Towers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis action, reportedly stemming from allegations by IHS of diesel misappropriation against two member companies of NOGASA and which is being investigated by the requisite authorities, has resulted in a critical threat to the operation of some of the 16,000 telecommunications sites nationwide, servicing mobile network operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese sites not only power mobile and internet services for millions of Nigerians, but also support essential services such as banking transactions, hospital communications, emergency response systems, and national security operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Stop blackmail, pay your debt\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>However, in a counter-statement, NOGASA\u2019s Secretary General, Tunde David, rejected the allegations and provided a different narrative.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cTo create sustainability in our economy, we must remember that pacts are binding. This dispute between IHS and NOGASA needs to be resolved to drive home this point. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen our companies render services to clients, we expect to be paid as and when due for the economy to remain healthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe publication ought to seek accuracy and be truthful in its presentation of the facts surrounding the matter at hand, rather than the hack job it did on a very crucial matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cALTON is categorically wrong in claiming that the two companies involved \u2018misappropriated\u2019 diesel stocks of IHS. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a total lie that fails to acknowledge that IHS owes the companies in question payments for services already rendered. They are mischievously raising a false alarm by linking national security to what is strictly a commercial transaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David accused ALTON of blackmail, saying \u201cThey are engaging in sheer blackmail because there are other colocation service providers in the country \u2014 like American Towers, Pan African Towers, and others \u2014 who could provide intervention mechanisms. They just need to clear their debts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat NOGASA is actually trying to do is protect the businesses of her members in order to secure the jobs and livelihoods of their employees. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs employers of labour, the principal objective of our association is to protect our businesses \u2014 not to sabotage the economy of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, it is IHS\u2019 imperial rascality and insensitivity in failing to settle our charges that is responsible for our action. They don\u2019t expect us to sit idly by when they have our funds tied down. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are only asserting our rights to be paid after rendering required services. ALTON ought to conduct thorough fact checks before making wild claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe numerous charges by victims of IHS show that the company\u2019s management does not seem to care much about its reputation these days. It has become a deliberate habitual defaulter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David emphasized that foreign management practices must align with local laws and ethics:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs proponents of global best practices, members of NOGASA understand and accept the input of foreign managers, but we must never be cowed by their presumptuousness. We are not fooled, and no amount of intimidation can make us abandon our rights to engage in collective bargaining against behemoths militating against the survival of our businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded with a firm stance that \u201cFor NOGASA in this matter, enough is enough. We insist that justice must be done. Pay us our requisite fees so we can return to normal business. This is our plight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet it be known that this is entirely a NOGASA affair. NUPENG is simply mindful and concerned with the safety of their members. Besides, it is pertinent to note that our staff are also members of NUPENG.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2025\/08\/stop-blackmail-pay-your-debts-gas-suppliers-counter-telecom-operators\/\">\u2018Stop blackmail, pay your debts,\u2019 gas suppliers counter telecom operators<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IHS owes the companies in question payments for services already rendered.
