How WhatsApp group led to sacking of workers at Dangote Refinery – Sources
Dangote Refinery recently sacked workers, citing sabotage. This was linked to a PENGASSAN WhatsApp group where employees reportedly shared sensitive operational information. PENGASSAN responded by calling for a strike and gas supply disruption, alleging anti-labor practices. The government intervened, mediating between Dangote and PENGASSAN. The National Industrial Court issued an order restraining PENGASSAN from continuing its industrial action against the Dangote Refinery. Eventually, PENGASSAN suspended the strike after an agreement was reached where unionization rights were respected, and sacked staff would be relocated within the Dangote Group with no loss of pay.
