The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has terminated the employment of all its Nigerian workers.
The statement to this effect was shared on X, Wednesday, by
a political commentator, Imran Wakili.
“Dangote Refinery has officially laid off all of its
Nigerian workers under the guise of “reorganization”, less than 24 hours after
90% of them joined PENGASSAN,” he wrote.
Wakili said the development comes less than 24 hours after
90 percent of them joined the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff
Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN.
According to a memo dated September 25, 2025, and signed by
the Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management, Femi Adekunle, Wakili
posted on X, the company said the decision was taken as part of a “total
re-organisation” of the plant following reported cases of sabotage in different
units of the refinery.
The notice directed affected staff to surrender all company
property in their possession to their line managers and obtain exit clearance.
The finance department was also instructed to compute benefits
and entitlements for payment in line with terms of employment.
The refinery’s management thanked the dismissed workers for
their services while in its employment.
Dangote refinery and PENGASSN have been embroiled in a trade
dispute over unionization issue.
