Falana Urges FG Action Against Dangote Refinery Over Union Rights Dispute
Human rights lawyer Falana criticized the Federal Government, urging them to intervene in the Dangote Refinery's alleged actions. The refinery was accused of forcing newly hired drivers to sign agreements preventing them from joining existing unions in the oil and gas sector.
This move led to the National Union of Petroleum and Gas Workers declaring an indefinite strike starting on September 9, 2025, in protest. Falana argued that this policy violated international labor rights conventions and Nigeria's ratified agreements.
The situation highlights the ongoing labor disputes in the oil and gas industry and the importance of upholding workers' rights.
