The Federal Government has officially announced the resolution of the disagreement between PENGASSAN and Dangote.

The Federal Government has successfully intervened to resolve a recent disagreement between the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN).

A statement issued early Wednesday by Dr. Mohammed Maigari Dingyadi, the Minister of Labour and Employment, confirmed that the matter reached a resolution following extensive discussions. Among the key agreements reached, the Minister underscored an important principle: the right of workers to unionize is enshrined in Nigerian law and must be respected. Additionally, after a review of the circumstances surrounding some employee disengagements, it was decided that the Dangote Group management would promptly begin redeploying these staff members to other companies within the Dangote Group, ensuring they experience no loss of pay.
