Dangote Refinery has reportedly terminated the employment of all Nigerian staff at its facilities, prompting concerns about workforce stability and operational continuity. The decision, announced internally by management, affects employees across multiple departments, including engineering, administration, and support services.
Employees have expressed shock and distress at the mass termination, citing the abruptness of the decision and its impact on personal and family livelihoods. Unions representing refinery workers have sought clarification from management, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding severance packages and future employment opportunities.
The company has not released an official public statement regarding the reasons behind the sackings. Industry observers note that the decision may influence operations at Nigeria’s largest refinery and could have wider implications for local employment in the oil and gas sector.
