The Federal Government has resolved the dispute between the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) after two days of conciliation meetings.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Mohammed Maigari Dingyadi, announced the outcome in a statement issued early Wednesday, noting that the talks produced key agreements.
According to the statement, the parties agreed that unionisation is a fundamental right of workers under Nigerian law and must be respected.
On the issue of staff disengagement, the meeting resolved that the management of Dangote Group will immediately begin redeploying affected employees to other companies within the group, without any loss of pay.
The statement also affirmed that no worker would face victimisation over their role in the dispute.
PENGASSAN, on its part, pledged to commence the process of calling off its strike action, while both sides committed to implementing the resolutions in good faith.
