Dangote Refinery Accused of Sacking 800 Nigerian Workers for Indians - PENGASSAN Raises Alarm
Dangote Refinery faced backlash as PENGASSAN accused it of sacking 800 Nigerian workers and replacing them with Indian staff. The General Secretary criticized the refinery for allegedly prioritizing Indian workers over Nigerians, leading to safety concerns and operational inefficiencies.
Despite the company's statement claiming Nigerians still work there, PENGASSAN emphasized the unfair treatment of dismissed workers and questioned the compliance with Nigerian labor laws. The union stressed the workers' right to unionize under the Trade Union Act.
This incident raises concerns about labor practices and the protection of Nigerian workers' rights in the country.
