LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Nigeria's powerful oil unions began a strike Thursday at its state-owned oil company and threatened to target exports in hopes of reversing the sale of government refineries.
Both the blue-collar and white-collar unions said members working for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. and the petroleum ministry have walked off the job indefinitely.
The state oil company holds the majority stake in joint ventures with international oil companies that accounts for more than 90 percent of the country's oil exports.
