The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has terminated the employment of all its Nigerian workers, less than 24 hours after 90 percent of them joined the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN.
In a memo dated September 25, 2025, and signed by the Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management, Femi Adekunle, the company said the decision was part of a “total re-organisation” of the plant following reported cases of sabotage in different units of the refinery.
The notice directed affected employees to return all company property to their line managers and obtain exit clearance. The finance department was also instructed to calculate entitlements for settlement in line with employment terms.
The refinery’s management expressed gratitude to the dismissed workers for their service during their time with the company.
