Nigeria's Seplat Energy resumes operations as oil workers halt strike action

Seplat Energy workers have suspended strike action after the company issued written commitments on pay rises, the union said. The suspension removes an immediate operational risk at Nigeria's largest independent oil and gas producer and should limit short-term production disruption and revenue loss. The agreement likely raises near-term operating costs but stabilizes operations and labor relations for the company.
