The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has called for a National Executive Council Meeting after
Dangote Refinery sacked its workers for belonging to the union.
The National President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Festus Osifo,
disclosed this to DAILY POST in an interview on Friday.
He said the union will arrive at the best action against
Dangote Refinery in its NEC meeting scheduled for the weekend.
“We will call for an emergency NEC meeting by the weekend to
decide on the way forward,” he said.
This comes after reports that Dangote Refinery terminated
the appointment of all its Nigerian workers after they joined PENGASSAN.
Osifo had assured that all the sacked workers will be
recalled.
This portends that there may be strike action which will
throw Nigeria’s oil sector into crisis.
Recall that in the past weeks, Dangote Refinery and the
Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers were embroiled in a face-off
over unionisation of the former’s workers.
Dangote secured an interim injunction in early September
2025, which lasted for seven days, to stop NUPENG from embarking on strike.
