Dangote refinery: NUPENG, PENGASSAN want IOCs investigated
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) have called on the federal government to investigate recent allegations made by International Oil Companies (IOCs) regarding the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Company.
In a joint statement, NUPENG’s General Secretary, Afolabi Olawale, and PENGASSAN’s General Secretary, Lumumba Okugbawa, condemned what they described as a “deliberate plot” by some IOCs to undermine the Dangote Refinery’s business efforts and continuous operation.
The statement emphasized the significance of the Dangote Refinery as a critical national asset and a symbol of hope for Nigeria’s energy security, economic growth, and employment opportunities. It noted that the economic benefits of having a local refinery with the capacity of the Dangote Refinery cannot be overstated.

The unions called for an immediate investigation by the federal government and urged the establishment of an independent panel to examine the claims of sabotage by some IOCs. They also demanded the publicisation of the investigation findings to ensure transparency and maintain public trust.
The statement further asserted that the government should take decisive legal action against the entities involved, including sanctions, penalties, and other measures necessary to deter future acts of economic sabotage. It emphasized the need for the government to provide all necessary support to ensure the uninterrupted commencement and operation of the Dangote Refinery, including ensuring security and stability around the refinery’s operations.
In summary, NUPENG and PENGASSAN are calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations made by IOCs against the Dangote Refinery. They emphasize the refinery’s importance to Nigeria’s economy and demand transparency and accountability in the investigation process.
