Court nullifies PENGASSAN Chevron election, orders fresh poll
By Jimoh Babatunde The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Lagos Division, has nullified the September 16, 2025 election conducted by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) for its Chevron branch and ordered the association to conduct a fresh poll within 30 days of the judgment.
Earlier in the judgment, the judge found that the CWC lacked the constitutional basis to dissolve the elected branch leadership in the manner it did, stressing that the constitution of an association constituted the “organic contract” binding its members.
Justice Damachi further held that the CWC’s action was invalid because it dissolved the Chevron branch organs on October 8, 2024, without obtaining prior approval from the National Executive Council (NEC), which was a mandatory requirement under the PENGASSAN Constitution.
