@ bolded. That's when dangote choose to defy the law of the country and international laws and sack workers for joining union

2nd NNPC does not give anybody license for anything, you can't write a long epistle of what you don't know

Dangote is owing nnpc a lot of money somewhere

No PENGASSAN leader is in any filling station or has any business or invested interest with any anywhere in this country

Who suffers more? Dangote, the sacked workers, the thousands of Indians replacing Nigeria, the common man, the uncommon man, together in unity we will all suffer for the injustice meted on those sacked workers

NNPC is not Pengassan and pengassan is not nnpc. Why not also call out total, Chevron, nlng, seplat, shell and the rest because their staffs are also pengassan members.

If NNPC refuses to sell crude to dangote, let him buy from total or mobil, or seplat or Chevron they are all crude producers

Go and read your books for next year utme abeg. For your mind now you have written an essay

Injury to those sacked workers is injury to everyone. When we learn to stand up for each other, oppression will end

thanks for educating those ignorant Nigerians who choose to take side with zero knowledge of what is at stake, I worked with Dangote group for 5yrs, if they allow him break the bond that guide oil and gas sector we will buy petrol for 5k b4 2027, Dangote is a good capitalist, he don't have our interest at heart, he MUST obey the law of the land, am fully in support of PENGASSAN for this one

Dangote should just import crude oil refine and export fuel to other countries. We are not ready yet.

Dangote didnt defy any law to begin with, The Law stipulate everyone has right to associate or " Dissassociate" .. emphasis on " Dissassociate" because people like you only put out " association"

However Dangote as an entity acted within his right as an employer to Dissassociate, and he made his management rule ... i dont want unionism which is permitted by the law

An Employee also has rights which is subservient to Management Rules, however what an Employee have thats supreme is choice to stay n abide by Rules or Exit go to where favor you
But in All of these Pengassan cant force Dangote to bend for your Right, when you have choice to Exit

As for Pengassan they are just hiding behind a finger to carry out there interior motive to sabotage Dangote , and they will fail ..... Dangote has his trucks n direct supplies Pengassan contibute nothing so there strike attempt wont work

On every truck registered to pengassan they collect 100k or is it 1m ... that is what is paining them not the workers ... its about the money they will lose on dangote trucks awon were

DatNiggaDaz:
Dangote must obey the laws of the Land. Workers in the Petroleum industry must be allowed to be unionized.

Dangote is not above Nigerian Law. He must run his refinery within the jurisdiction of the employment laws in Nigeria.

He should never be allowed to have the say alone and monopolize the sectorr like he did in cement sector

but dangote is not the only one producing cement in Nigeria

ARISHEM:
When has it become a law that Private companies must unionize. Which Nigerian constitution give provision for such.

then when was it against the law that workers can't join unionism if they want. What is the dangote motives that dont want to allow his workers to join union? To be using them anyhow? To be treating them anyhow? What was the reason?

How is AlhajinDangote oppressing you? He is the biggest private employer in the country. Na who union help? If he doesn't want his workers in union,any worker that joins is a traitor. Alhaji Aliko Dangote is a good man that wants the best for the country. He only needs very little from his money to survive, he's doing it all for Nigerians to enjoy and more progress to Alhaji Aliko Dangote,future richest man in the world

aaaaabbbbbccccc:
You people shout monopolization, has Dangote stopped anyone from building their own refinery. You guys are enemies of the country.

Abi o. They are after their pockets but Alhaji Dangote is doing everything for progress of the nation

From many of the write ups you'll know many have spent time living in face me face you apartments and don't know it's unhealthy for 100 people to share a single toilet and bathroom which constitutes an environmental hazard.


Many don't know the labour laws of the country so they can afford to spew trash against Unions and speak for Dangote who they slave for.


Is it not Dangote trucks that have been killing people on the high ways and everyone keeps silent because no driver is found and plate number of truck is taken away....

PENGASSAN are quick to cite "laws of the country" which they themselves blatantly flout at every given opportunity.

The "laws of the country" which they cite talks about "freedom of association" but, PENGASSAN is making belonging to an association "compulsory".

So, who's disobeying the "laws of the land" when all workers are being constrained into belonging to a union by force?

Where, therefore, is the "freedom of association"?

The Industrial Court and, indeed, the Supreme Court needs to clarify this burning issue if a stop is to be put to the excesses of PENGASSAN and her affiliates.

You are just regurgitating what every hate-filled outsider is saying without showing concrete examples, as an ex employee of Dangote group, what practices he engaged in that would make him inordinately jerk up prices. Or is it the same cement jingles you want to repeat? You want the premium quality to cost lesser than the non premiums ones even though the price difference is only marginal?

Housing:
PENGASSAN is the arms wing of the petroleum industry cabal. There should be reasonable excuse for industrial action not because a private company decided to restructure only for you guys to shot down IOC and others that has nothing to do with the decision of Dangote refinery.

Probably PENGASSAN is also just restructuring.

Too many long epistles for me to comprehend here.
Please, I just want to know if the supposed strike is indefinite and if it will possibly disrupt fuel supply to filing stations.
Thank you.

@hotseat

Do you know anyone who PENGASSAN have forced in joining their Union, please bring proof and don't say what you don't know!!!!!

Do you think it's market women business with three employees!!!!?

By now...

PENGASSAN should have been suspended as a body and anyone parading himself or herself as executives arrested...till they know there is a thin line between Unionism and Economic Sabotage.

Tinubu is too slow on this matter

No I am beginning to see Dangote for who he is. While dollar for crude attempt. Some are saying that media are changing is statement. How?

@hotseat

Let me try to explain this to you like someone who failed WAEC. PENGASSAN did not coerce Dangote Refinery employees to join its Union. The employees willingly and overwhelmingly joined the Union. Upon hearing that its employees have joined the Union, after verifying all those that joined, they were sacked! Over 700 Nigerians sacked and you are here rationalizing.

P1PrinceKT:
The reason for sacking them was joining a Union. Is joining a Union against the law? As an employer you don't have power to go against the law of the land, which grant employees every right to or not join any Union of their trade.

It is not against the law either for a private employer to refuse to employ or retain union members.

Zionmdde:
Another ignorance. Most pengassan members have since left the refinery. Infact no pengassan member from nnpc is currently there. Stop saying what you don't know

Pengassan don't need dues from any dangote refinery. That's the wealthiest union in Nigeria you are talking about. You think someone earning 5million per month really needs the dues of a 300k salary earner. Na wa oooo

Earning or criminally rent seeking

PENGASSAN is the strongest obstacle in the development of Nigeria energy sector,the same union that cannot run a refinery is attacking the only functioning refinery in Nigeria.

Thank God for Dangote. He is the only powerful man that can fight this blood suckers. He tamed NNPC, NUPENG PENGASSEN is the last kick of a dying horse. Now we see why no refinery has ever worked in this country. Imagine if it was an ordinary business man that built this and is facing all these fights. The person will have folded up the business and count his losses. PENGASSEN should go ahead and shut down oil production, that one na Tinubu go personally deal with them for sabotaging the economy for Thier selfish reasons.

The right to associate or dissociate is for employees not for employers. So did thr workers tell you they wanted to dissociate
Have you seen your life awon industry fuel station dispenser
Pemgassan have no business with anything truck. Oil industry worker don't know the difference between nupeng and pengassan
Now continue dispensing the fuel you are dispensing

They are all scammers!
Left, Right and Center they are all acting following their script to extort / exploit Nigerians...only a miracle will change the situation to favor the people...

DEXTROVERT:
As an investor
You build a very big hospital
Or university
That stabilized the nation

Suddenly ASUU
Said your lecturers should join strike
Or NMA said your doctors shouldn't work.

Let's reason it out
With ASUU /doctors or nurses strikes
Do private universities or hospitals go on strike
Answer is NO
Does it mean they are not protected by their union

PENGASSON NUPENG,
Encroached these guys for reasons best known to upset their employer
They target is to ground things,
Raise the petrol price which is expected in few days so that their petrol station jerk up prices and they make gains from Nigeria as usual

Do you know
These economic sabotage are usually timed when
Things appears better, Naira is stable approaching 1400, Petrol is down 865. LPG 920

Suddenly all PENGASSON leaders filling Station will cause chaos and raise their prices

who suffers, the people
Who gains independent marketers
Its all a set up to maximize gains by same cabals who will never allow a drop of fuel refined from the NNPC

For anyone who thinks Dangote want to monopolize all
Tell PENGASSON and NUPENG
TO build their own refineries and compete not to bring down what is a respite at the moment


Now
For
Any foreign investor in oil and gas especially towards building refineries
Or even mechanized agriculture
How do they get courage seeing how NNPC, PENGASSON, NUPENG, DAPPMAN, IPMAN are dealing with dangote.

NNPC delayed license to start
Later they said dangote fuel has Sulphur
Later they denied their truck drivers
Stopped supply of crude, he had to buy elsewhere
Later stopped naira for crude

Yet
FG
Watches in limbo

P1PrinceKT:
You support Dangote for sacking 800 Nigerian employees and replacing them with Indians. You literally mean this.

If you own a company and you have the opportunity to either employ Nigerians or foreigners, who will you employ?
See, let me tell you, an average Nigerian is greedy, wicked, heartless , selfish, self centred and a saboteur and they wouldn't mind grounding your company just to establish theirs.
Just last year, my beauty home was grounded by Nigerian employees and this year a Nigerian bus driver sabotage my transportation business that I put under his care and in both cases I ended up losing millions. You think if I have the opportunity next time I would want to employ Nigerians?

zelnababa:
apart from monthly union dues what is benefit of so called unions?

This is the right question no one seems to want to answer............of what benefits is PENGASSAN & NUPENG to the average Nigerian oil & gas worker Just give us a sensible & reasonable answer and we will support the so called unions

These associations in Nigeria are a pressure group, and in many instances a means to enrich a few. See the Nigerian Legion, at a point they started acting as an arm of government , collecting revenues from truckers, issuing permits, truckers were paying this association to allow their trucks to be branded with the Nigerian Legion logo. Sometimes these association forget the fact that they are just a “mere” association.

Same with pure water association. You must pay them before you can have a pure water factory. These association in this part of the world are aimed at self-enrichment. They don’t protect anyone… may be in a few cases.

Where is NLC today? After all manner threats accepted under 100$ as salary for workers per month, and right in their face many governors rejected this deal and fired workers.

People who are actually running businesses in this country feel the futility of these unions. The essence is always about getting dues and nothing else.

How many unions is Dangote going to deal with? Truck drivers union, MAN, PENGASAN, and many more will arise, all suffocate this man. The only one who has risked it all to build a refinery in Nigeria, while the rest kleptocrats are buying houses in Dubai and London.. even. Florida.

We should all do our best to protect and stand for Dangote. No one amongst the ruling class shown this nation much love in deed. The rest are busy dinning in Monaco, flying private jet to Paris, riding Royce on pot-holed streets. The few who dare. only venture into banking and hotels.

Sometimes, we swallow some of these so called Democratic structures without understanding that they could be stifling growth. Come try union for Dubai or China… even Singapore when it involves a critical national asset. Many developing nations will not tolerate this level of threat in name of unionism against a critical national asset.

We should protect this refinery with all our strength.. because our government will never ever build one.

PENGASSAN can not do pass ASUU and yet ASUU have become irrelevant and humbled. Gradually we will overcome every obstacles holding nigeria back.

People keep shouting monopoly as if other private refineries are not being built as we speak. Monopoly this monopoly that. Can’t you guys for once just chill and reason by yourself instead of allowing online influencers to reason for you? These cabals are using online influencers to manipulate people opinion, crawling on every threads spewing nonsense.

Osezzua:
So much ignorance in one post. Most Nigerians like to comment on what they know absolutely nothing about.

NNPC doesn't issue license to refineries, infact they are competitors with Dangote refinery.

Secondly, unionization of workers isn't a privilege, rather it's the worker's right guaranteed in our constitution and also in compliance with the ILO(International Labor Organization) regulation.

We have IOCs operating in Nigeria where we have PENGASSAN as a union.

Harmony and progress have always been sustained. Why does Dangote feel that he can hire and fire Nigerians arbitrarily?

Are they slaves to only be spoken to? Who does that?

Fire Nigerians as if they are in a labor camp? Come on guys, Nigerians can't be treated that way abroad and be treated the same way in their God given land.

This act shall be resisted to the end. Unionization of Nigerian workers doesn't mean death to the organization.

This is evident in other IOCs who have been operating in Nigeria for over 50yrs and have had their workers unionized.

If Dangote doesn't have ulterior motives, why is he afraid of the Union?

Not like any confrontation has taken place yet. Let him go back to the dialogue table and discuss.

Why are bank workers not unionized in Nigeria?

P1PrinceKT:
The reason for sacking them was joining a Union. Is joining a Union against the law? As an employer you don't have power to go against the law of the land, which grant employees every right to or not join any Union of their trade.

The Nigeria constitution doesn't stipulates that every employees must belongs to a union, it's not mandatory. It's the choice of an individual to join a union or not (freedom of association) and because of the antecedents of Nigeria unions, privately own companies can decide not to employ unionised members and it's still within their right.
If my company becomes a multi national, before anyone is employed, I will make sure the person sign that he/she must not belong to any union an if the person goes contrary, I will have the right to sack the person without gratuity. If the person nor gree sign, make he/she go meet their union to employ them.
My company can't be grounded by union members because another company did fellow union members wrong

P1PrinceKT:

since Nigerians have become anti progress for him, let serious minded people take the positions
