PENGASSAN President Accuses Dangote of Economic Sabotage in Refinery Dispute

President of PENGASSAN, Festus Osifo, accuses Dangote of sabotaging Nigeria's economy amid a row over the Dangote Refinery. The union directed its members to withdraw services following the reported sacking of at least 800 workers, leading to a standoff with the refinery management.

Osifo claims the dismissals infringe on workers' rights, while the refinery management cites internal restructuring. Osifo alleges Dangote's actions harm the economy despite benefiting from it.

The situation highlights tensions between labor rights and corporate interests in Nigeria's industrial landscape.
