Dangote can not sack them again grin grin
PENGASSAN has won.

mikeapollo:
Some of the workers would still be called back to the refinery. But they will NEVER join PENGASSAN/NUPENG again with this experience. Unless the worker is a fool.
So Dangote has won.

na soo oo. honestly, we are beginning to see the true behaviour grin

franugo:
Seems like a way for both parties to save face, although it does favour dangote more. No staff in the refinery will now dare to join pengassan with the fear of redeployment, most likely to a less enviable environment and dangote can quietly lay off the concerned staff at a future date, if he wishes to do so, without much uproar.

I still don't believe....I have former colleagues that worked there, they have all left. Nobody I know worked in Dangote Refinery that spoke well of the place, unless THINGS HAVE CHANGED THERE OVERNIGHT, which I seriously doubt. Indians I know don't treat their employees well.
the I Indians are employees not shareholders or owners it not a Indian owned company they are also employee
You friends all left cos they where not real Dangote refinery staffs .they should show you there offer it doesn't carry Dangote refinery
This 800 are the first batch with refinery direct offer
Other are project staff which is contract for construction not running
Many are vendor staffs and work has completed so they left
Refinery is automated need around 3k workers
Not the10000 during construction

Yes, but definitely not all of them. Some may not even have enough practical experience because Dangote refinery is still very young.
And I don't believe people were trained in India and they are being paid 300k as salary in Nigeria. That is not possible..
OK now you don't believe their salary is 400k gross and 300k net abi. grin grin grin

Out of 800, in the next 3 years over 700 will get far more better jobs where they have far more better respect.
Dangote refinery employ like 50 or more every year for the past 10 years now, and as trains the professionals in India, if you are not in that Cadre you can't be in pengassan, go and find out the meaning of pengassan. It's an insult for a pengassan member to be earning 300k

There are many ways to kill a rat, indeed.

Those dancing to the tune of the enemy unions are naive.

Dangote has smartly and deftly redeployed them to other areas of the Dangote Group thereby depriving the rogue PENGASSAN and her affiliates of their much sought after check-off dues.

Ntoor!

They want to reap from where they didn't sow.

Let them channel their energy to their useless and moribund refineries.


Armu-robbers!

Dangote: Forward ever! Backward never!


Enemies of Nigeria who want to exploit any and every avenue to discredit Tinubu has been put to shame.

Oga protest, so you didn't later protest?

Dangote is very very smart, knows how well to dangle the savior banner on your faces while he emotionally blackmail you guys

Did dangote re employ them or not?
Are they now dangote staffs or not?
So who backed down at last?
Sha carry that placard you were planning to use to kwara state.
They are out of his refinery and definitely no longer qualified to be PENGASSAN members. How about unionism in Dangote refinery? Dead! Dangote 1 PENGASSAN 0

My God. PRNGASSAN has ruined destiny of these people. Dangote has won today and forever.

Are the dangote employees or not? Why don't you answer the question
And who will lose more after training them in india?

Anyway did dangote backdown by re employing them or not?

And what happened to the protest you were bragging that you will organize?
Point is Dangote didn't want unionism in his refinery and he won. You are too slow to get it. If Dangote chooses to sack them tomorrow, PENGASSAN will not even be in any position to fight for them as they are no longer oil company workers.
Re: PENGASSAN To Call Off Strike as Dangote Redeploys Sacked Workers by frog12: 12:04pm On Oct 01, 2025
they have to go to Industrial court grin grin

They should just start looking for another job, because they're now exposed and can't be protected by Pengassan again. Smh calculated wickedness

But you are dull fa! They lost their jobs! If you are redeployed from NNPC to ministry of education will you celebrate it as victory since you are still a government employee? Do you think those Dangote workers would have meddled into unionism if only they knew PENGASSAN will let them down like that? Dangote will definitely mark them wherever they are redeployed to and when he will strike them PENGASSAN will not say a word!

That's your business. You think they really need (800 x 3,000 = 2.4Million per month) . So pengassan will be fighting for a paltry 2.4M

Na wa oooo, have you really seen any pengassan member in your life before?

The analogy of nnpc to ministry of education shows who is the dull person here

It shows you know absolutely nothing about nnpc. Moreover they will be paid the same salary based on the agreement
So if you send them.where there is no work, that's your business

Moreover, I heard a lot of those guys will refuse to return. Based in freedom from the bonds they signed. You are joking with engineers with world class experience. Na wa ooo
Which school did you go to lemme even ask
Re: PENGASSAN To Call Off Strike as Dangote Redeploys Sacked Workers by creativejagaban: 12:27pm On Oct 01, 2025
Zionmdde:
Weed out the people he spent millions to train in India, and the people that have already gotten enough experience to get better jobs abroad

Do you even know why dangote made them sign bonds before their training? Man must be licking his wounds by now. I guess you have never reached the level of knowing what it takes to train staffs and lose them immediately
How is that your pain? Dangote employed them. Dangote disengaged them. How does that give you running stomach?.
Or are you related to racoon?


Where was pengassan when all, I mean all......I mean all our refineries were going down. They cared less, so far they are collecting their own dues.

Dangote refinery is synonymous to Nigeria refinery. So any pengassan or penga-tuer or saboteur should never be allowed to rubbish the refinery.

Imagine the audacity of pengassan to want to go on strike because of dues collection! Putting the Nigeria economy in danger!

If your lord obi were to be president, would you allow pengassan to do to Dangote refinery what they did to our dead refineries?

I don't expect objective response from you though.

NAH !! Dangote really get sense, to is Team i say wow, Such a brilliant solution moving forward

There is no point sacking those Employee anytime again, they have being neutralized and rendered uselezz for whatever mission Cabals might need them for

Other businesses of Dangote are " Secured" they cant sabotage it, But the " Refinery" ota po ju enemy lor cheesy

Those workers have been disarmed... kudus to Dangote team
I can tell you that no company will keep staff that has the tendency to disrupt business or demotivate other staff . Whereever they send them , traps will be laid . Lateness , insubordination, downsizing etc. They are goners.

Zionmdde:
The fact pengassan agreed to call off the strike despite the redeployment stuff only showed they were fighting for the sacked workers who by the reason of the redeployment may no longer be their member

While the millions spent in training them in india will be lost as dangote will spend another to train some more
Dangote will always keep getting dumb advice from his Indian remote controls.

Because we see him as savior, he is now free to disregard our labour laws. I love the way the man blackmail gullible Nigerians into supporting him. First he is getting crude at cheaper price and selling fuel above import price. Always crying sabotage to have his way

Those town criers who have been crying for days now can now wipe their tears off. And all those ones that threatened one million man protest and can drive the protesters to kwara state where they are needed
Co-signed.

So why did he re hire them?
And you think people who have undergone years of training in refinery operations and were part of that refinery start will look for job for that long?

Na wa ooooo.
Learn strategy bro. Small sacrifices for Long term goals. It is better the workers should look for other jobs than return.

He rehired them with condition to work in section that didn't require PENGASSAN or NUPENG grin. This is wisdom

Dangote of cause. He should not allow PENGASSAN or NUPENG to come and corrupt his business the way PENGASSAN or NUPENG corrupted NNPC.

franugo:
But he sacked them earlier and they were asking/protesting for their jobs back, if it's that easy to move to another place, do you think they'd have gone to this length to get their jobs back? You're talking of bonds, if an employer terminates your employment, that nullifies any bond you have with him, so I'm not sure how a bond held them back after dangote sacked them
No mind that guy jare. He's been repeating that hogwash over and over again on the thread.

Person wan sack you, you no gree go. You now turned around to say na the person go lose if you go.

No be juju be that?
Re: PENGASSAN To Call Off Strike as Dangote Redeploys Sacked Workers by adioolayi(m): 12:43pm On Oct 01, 2025
Last last...

An employment lifeline gotten by PENGASSAN for the sacked workers...

- They will not be oil and gas workers anymore and so PENGASSAN loses.

- They will not be given whatever entitlement they would have gotten as Oil and gas workers, whose employment was terminated due to restructuring

- They can be quietly eased off at the place they will be redeployed to with no union to fight for them

-Dangote refinery has technically purged his refinery of unionsm.

In all...Dangote wins.

The workers would have gotten a better deal going to Industrial court.

How could Dangote refinery employ 50 or more people for the past 10 years?
How old is the refinery and when did it start operations?
There may be people who earn N400k or N300k but those that were trained abroad would be senior staff e.g. engineers, accountants etc and their salaries would be higher than that. Even if it is not more than that, it is better than not working and sitting at home doing nothing.

Have you seen
This one may even be writing utme next year
Before you replied, all you could have done would have been to search "2015 dangote refinery recruitment"
It's obvious most of you supporting dangote are just inexperienced

As I told you before you must be a senior staff before pengassan and the sacked workers collect 300k

A whole lot of them have been freed from the bonds they signed with dangote and won't return. And they are all very eligible job candidates
Experience plenty
Training plenty
I don't think any refinery in the world will turn down such CV
