Dangote Petroleum Refinery has approved the recall of engineers previously sacked and redeployed during its face-off with the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), according to a statement issued on Thursday.
The decision follows negotiations between the company and the union, though specific terms were not disclosed. The engineers were initially dismissed amid a dispute over working conditions and union recognition.
PENGASSAN had accused the refinery of unfair labor practices, while the company maintained that the redeployments were part of operational adjustments. The recall is seen as a step toward resolving tensions between the parties.
As of May 1, 2026, no further details on the number of engineers affected or the timeline for their return have been confirmed.
