Group Warns Against Sabotaging Dangote Refinery

Tracereporters News --A group, known as Stand-Up South South Security Group, has issued a warning to those who may be plotting to sabotage the Dangote Refinery.

The group stated that an attack on Dangote Refinery, is an attack to destroy this Country, adding that people must reject the temptation to be used as tools to sabotage Dangote Refinery.

In a statement on Saturday, signed by its National Secretary, Comrade Endurance Ukutegbere, it also advised the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria PENGASSAN, to stop attacking Dangote Refinery over the sack of some workers.

“ PENGASSAN must understand that an employee cannot educate his employer on how the employer will run his company”


“ Our attention has been drawn to the press release issued on Friday 26th September, 2025, by the General Secretary of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria PENGASSAN, against Dangote Refinery”


“ PENGASSAN in its press release , titled, “ Condemnation of Anti-Labour Practices by Dangote Refinery and Ultimatum to reinstate Nigerian Workers”, made unpleasant comments against Dangote Refinery”


According the group, “ Nigerians are still celebrating the building of Dangote Refinery in Lagos state, Nigeria. And this is why every right thinking and patriotic Nigerians must resist any sinister plot to frustrate the operations of Dangote Refinery”


“ PENGASSAN must realize or accept the fact that Dangote Refinery is a private organization, and an investment worth over $20Billions. The Management of Dangote Refinery, have the power to hire and fire”


It said, “ Dangote Refinery has come to stay. The Management of Dangote Refinery are also at liberty to hire qualified persons from across the world to work with the Refinery here in Nigeria. We also have Nigerians hired and working abroad”


The group advised PENGASSAN to leave Dangote Refinery alone, and channel their energy to the Federal Government to revive the govt owned Refineries, where workers are earning salary monthly without working.


“ It is expected that after investing over $20Billion to build the Dangote Refinery, Alhaji Aliko Dangote will restructure the workforce of the company to ensure optimum performance and efficient delivery”


“ And whenever restructuring of workforce occurs in an organization as big as Dangote Refinery, some workers will be sacked, some retained and new persons will be employed to form a new team to achieve the company’s vision, set aims and objectives”

“ Dangote Refinery has done the expected for business sustainability. The company’s decision should be respected, particularly by PENGASSAN. Certainly, it is not the end of life for the workers dropped by Dangote Refinery, they can still search for jobs somewhere else”


Further, the group stated, “ PENGASSAN should not use this to fight unnecessary fight with Dangote Refinery, more Nigerians are still working and benefiting from the Dangote Refinery. We advise PENGASSAN to thread with caution, and withdraw it’s attack on Dangote Refinery because of the workers sacked. More Nigerians would still be employed into the company”

The Lagos oil importers led by their maradona leader wants to kill Dangote refinery so they can keep importing substandard petrol for Nigerian and make unholy profits .

For years Nigerians prayed for a working refinery to save us from forex wasted in importing petrol and now God has answered our prayers through Dangote but some greedy middle men importers want to kill it

When pengassan acts, dangote can shout to the moon. You wake up sack workers for joining union. Breadwinners ooooo, who only wants to identify with people who can speak for them. You pay Indians who don't even have degrees millions and Nigerians with masters less than 350k.

Even business people have unions. I am glad pengassan is not nupeng. Dangote will soon start screaming persecution

If He did the recruitment on a level playing field he will not be experiencing this problem.

Which one again is make sure you indicate your geopolitical zone? I have no pity for him. Let him carry his cross.

Coming days will be hot, make I go buy fuel first

See the "lovers" of their own interest!

Newsextra014:
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has directed its members to halt gas and crude oil supply to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, escalating the ongoing dispute between the union and refinery management.

The directive followed the alleged disengagement of over 800 Nigerian workers who recently unionised at the facility.

In a memo signed by PENGASSAN General Secretary, Comrade Lumumba Ighotemu Okugbawa, and circulated to branch chairmen of TotalEnergies E&P, Seplat Producing Nigeria, Renaissance, Chevron, Oando, Shell Nigeria Gas, and NGIC, the union instructed immediate shutdown of crude oil supply valves, suspension of vessel loading operations, and disconnection of gas supply to the refinery.

The statement accused the refinery management of “illegitimate” actions and of engaging in “misinformation and propaganda” instead of addressing labour concerns.

> “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 unionised.
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, and the loading operation for vessels headed there should be halted,” the memo read in part.

Dangote's refinery staff work under the worst working conditions imaginable. Why is he afraid of his workers joining a union if his hands are clean? He should improve the welfare of his indigenous staff.

Allowing workers to join unions is never sabotage.

Dangote will NEVER win this war against NUPENG and PENGASAN, never. These unions have been in many companies and they have never claimed sabotage.

Don't mind the wicked souls who speak evil of the unions. They will work in place where there welfare and rights will be trampled upon and no one will come to their rescue. They will wish for a union, yet non will rescue them.
