The industrial dispute between the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria took a dramatic turn on Saturday as the union ordered seven branches to cut off crude oil and gas supplies to the $20bn facility.

In a letter dated September 26 and signed by its General Secretary, Lumumba Okugbawa, the union accused the refinery’s management of sacking its members in retaliation for exercising their constitutional right to join the union.

The union’s move marks an escalation in the standoff, with PENGASSAN accusing the refinery of anti-labour practices and the unlawful sack of its members.

In the directive issued to its branch chairmen, PENGASSAN instructed its branch chairmen in key upstream and midstream oil companies, including TotalEnergies, Chevron, Seplat, Shell Nigeria Gas, Oando, and Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company, to immediately cut off all crude oil and gas supplies to the refinery.

PUNCH Online reports that the directive comes after PENGASSAN alleged that Nigerian workers were sacked by Dangote Refinery after joining the union, claiming that management also withdrew staff buses and denied entry to locals while allowing expatriates access.

The union threatened to picket the refinery if the situation was not addressed. https://punchng.com/pengassan-alleges-mass-sack-of-workers-dangote-refinery-denies-claims/

In a statement on Friday, the refinery clarified that only a small number of workers were affected by what it described as a reorganisation aimed at preventing acts of sabotage within the facility. It said over 3,000 Nigerians remain in employment, rejecting claims of mass layoffs. https://punchng.com/just-in-over-3000-nigerians-working-at-dangote-refinery-despite-restructuring-management/

Dangote maintained that the restructuring was necessary after what it described as recurring acts of sabotage in different units of the refinery, which posed serious risks to human lives and operations.

As a result, PENGASSAN instructed its branches in TotalEnergies, Seplat, Chevron, Oando, Shell Nigeria Gas, Renaissance, and NGIC to cut gas supply to the refinery immediately.

The union described the move as “illegitimate” and accused the refinery of spreading misinformation instead of addressing the matter through dialogue.

“As you are aware, the Management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has disengaged our members in reaction to the exercise of their constitutional right to being unionized.

“They have gone further on a mission of misinformation and propaganda to justify this illegitimacy rather than engaging meaningfully with us to right the wrong.

“Consequent to these, you are hereby directed to cut off gas supply to NGIC effective immediately. All crude oil supply valves to the Refinery should be shut. The loading operation for vessel headed there should be halted immediately,” the directive read.

The union further mandated the NGIC Chairman to ensure strict compliance with the order and told all branch chairmen to give regular updates on the action taken.

“NGIC Chairman, ensure that gas supply to the Refinery is cut off effective immediately. All chairmen on this summons are to report promptly the progress of the directive. Kindly accept the assurances of our highest esteem. Thank you,” the statement read.

Reaffirming its solidarity, PENGASSAN ended the directive with its slogan: “Injury to one! Injury to all!”

On Thursday, the company announced it would suspend petrol sales in naira from September 28 following the exhaustion of its crude-for-naira allocations.

Good one

Adamawa Gov Urges New PDP Exco To Foster Unity Ahead Of 2027

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has urged the newly elected executive members of the Peoples Democratic Party to foster unity within the party as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Saturday in Yola after the delegates’ congress that elected the new state executive, the governor said the outcome of the elections signals positive prospects for the PDP in 2027.

“The peaceful conduct of today’s election proves that our party is ready to reclaim its mandate from the ruling All Progressives Congress,” Fintiri said.

He further charged the new executive members to work diligently in bringing both new and existing members together to ensure the party reclaims its mandate.

At the congress, the chairman of the national committee and a former Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, David Iorhemba, praised the PDP for repositioning itself beyond the reach of any opposition ahead of 2027.

“The results of the Adamawa State Congress give me joy, and victory at the general elections is just around the corner. We have developed resistance to rigging. Whoever is banking on rigging the 2027 election will be digging their political grave. The people’s vote must count in 2027,” Iorhemba said.

The new state chairman of the party, Alhaji Hamza Madagali, who previously served as the party’s organising secretary, commended the delegates for entrusting him with the leadership of the state chapter. He assured PDP members that he would work tirelessly to ensure the party retains the state and positions itself for the presidency.

Madagali emphasised that only the PDP holds the key to delivering genuine democratic dividends to Nigerians and returning the country to people-friendly governance.

Among the new executive members is journalist Mr Umar Saheed, publisher of Ndigo Magazine and former Commissioner of Education under former Governor Boni Haruna. He was elected as Vice Chairman for the Adamawa Southern Senatorial Zone.

The swearing-in of the new executive is scheduled for October 6, 2025, coinciding with the expiration of the current executive’s tenure.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

🤦🏽‍♂️

What comes to mind is just open a mini store to specifically sell bags of rice, Beans and visit villagers to obtain garri bags in cheaper rate to sell in good price... 🤷🏾‍♂️

Social Media and Naira land in particular are majorly contributing to the highest rate in tribalism.

That's great news 👍🏽

The EVIL air hostess caused EVERYTHING.
It's very obvious and she deserves to be banned for life.

NO MATTER WHAT SHE DID,
YOU ALLOWED EVERYONE TO LEAVE THE PLANE AND KEPT HER HOSTAGE INSIDE, AND YOU EXPECT ARE TO BE FINE WITH IT.

In all airports around the world, there's usually heavy presence of security officials, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO ESCAPE IF THE TRUE ISSUE WAS TO ARREST HER FOR WHATEVER MISCONDUCT.

First of all that's a Purser not an air hostess, and you probably do not know what you are talking about because if you do you won't be blabbing all these nonsense from your mouth.

She went against a plane rule which could jeopardise the life of everyone on the crew putting them all at risk after several warning was issued to her to put off her device, guess you don't know what it means to get your device in flight mode or turn it off means in a plane, you won't run out here talking sh**t.

Nonsense.
This country is really backwards like crazy...

Lol...
