Dangote Reveals Sabotage Behind Recent Layoffs at Refinery

Dangote, during a media briefing, disclosed that recent layoffs at the Dangote Refinery in Lagos were triggered by sabotage attempts aimed at disrupting operations. The company's restructuring decision was made to ensure safety and protect the integrity and long-term viability of Africa's largest refinery project.

Labor groups, including the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), raised concerns over the alleged dismissal of 800 workers. Edwin, a company spokesperson, clarified that the restructuring was not influenced by pressure from labor unions.
