Lagos, Nigeria – Wetin dey happen for Dangote Petroleum Refinery sef? E be like say wahala don burst as the management don terminate all employment for their Nigerian workers. Na Imran Wakili, one political commentator, carry the gist come public for X on Wednesday, talk say dem do am under the guise of ‘reorganization’.
According to Wakili, this layoffs happen just less than 24 hours after about 90% of these workers join PENGASSAN, wey be the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria. E no go surprise if you hear say dem fit transfer their anger from management to workers now. Wetin go happen if na only one person dey work for the refinery, come dey collect all the money?
The memo wey go round workers, signed by Femi Adekunle, the Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management, talk say dem do am because of “total re-organisation” following the sabotage wey dey happen for different units of the refinery. Wetin I go call this one? Direct sabotage or dem just dey find excuse to clear house? (Only this refinery fit explain wetin dem mean by organization, we no fit understand). Dem even tell affected staff make dem return all company property wey dem hold before dem fit carry their exit clearance.
After the news break, Festus Osifo, wey be the president of PENGASSAN, talk for interview say the decision dey shocking but e go make sure say all the dismissed workers go return back. “Yes, e true. We see the letter late last night. I fit assure you say dem go recall all of them,” he talk. How he go take do am? Na story for another day.
Meanwhile, no word don come from Anthony Chijiena, the spokesperson of Dangote Group, since the news drop. Maybe him dey find the best way to spin this matter like say na fine wine. E go make sense to see how dem go respond, especially as NUPENG don join the matter, dey call out Dangote for his typical action.
Speaking of NUPENG, Prince Williams Akporeha, the National President, don show face, dey run mouth on how this action show wetin Dangote dey made of. “That na the stuff wey Dangote dey show us. He don show him true colours to all Nigerians.” E be like say no be only wahala dey for oil and gas sector this period, but plenty gists too, or na fight dem dey fight?
On top this issue of sack, Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State don give order to suspend activities for Mararrabar Birnin Yauri gold mining site after one violent clash wey carry one person go for the early morning. The governor don notice say the Kebbi people dey neglected in their own land, as foreigners dey come chop their gold. Na wah oh, everybody wan eat breakfast without sharing food.
As the drama dey unfold for everywhere, make we dey watch how this one go turn out. E fit be say tomorrow we go hear say Dangote don go back on him word, or na fresh crisis go start? Keep your fingers crossed!
