Final Thought:
Preparation is your edge. Whether it's Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, or any midstream operator, performing well comes down to practice not just knowledge.
I repeat again 📣 for those who know little or nothing about trade unionism in Nigeria 🇳🇬
No employer has any rights whatsoever to issue a query to an employee or group of employees who decide to organise or join trade unions.
Sacking 800 of them for this sole reason is Sacrilege.
Dangote and all his Indian mafia deserves to be checked.
You want to compare SATANU staff that they swear for everyday with PENGASSAN employees that are highly desirable by global corporations.
I would have almost said your daddy was a zoo keeper, but you know I love you! Go and sin no more 😩😩😩
DANGOTE REFINERY'S ACCUSATION OF SABOTAGE VS PENGASSAN'S SUPPORT FOR THE NIGERIAN ENGINEERS IN DPRP.
1.
Dangote Refinery's accusation of sabotage against Nigerian workers is a ploy to deceive the public. @akintollgate@SirJarus@IU_Wakilii@Morris_Monye
This is reprehensible. Dangote Petroleum & Petrochemical Refinery is abusing “reorganisation” as a smokescreen for deep injustice and systemic suppression.
To Dangote management:
• You betray trust by casting people aside without fair process.
A Thread 📌
@flexiblenancy@IU_Wakilii Your level of cognitive reasoning is diminishing, is either your eyes is blind or you didn't have the faculty to see what's happening in his industry. In our land but nationals are treated as a foreigner. Only fabricated lies flies in his media.
It is difficult to deny that Aliko Dangote’s business empire has crossed the line from healthy competition into outright monopoly. From cement to sugar, salt, pasta, and now oil, Dangote Industries
a thread 🧵
Between Investment Protection and Workers’ Rights: The Untold Struggles at the Dangote Refinery 2.
After listening to more information, I am directing this second piece to the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board @OfficialNCDMB , the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, and the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
The recent mass termination of Nigerian engineers at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has been explained away by management as a response to sabotage. However, testimonies from staff members paint a very different picture; one that points to years of poor working conditions, unfair labour practices, and pay disparities that undermine Nigeria’s local content aspirations.
Staff recruited across various batches, revealed that a level 9 step 3 engineer earns as little as ₦383,000 monthly. Even with shift allowances, total pay rarely exceeds ₦500K. In an industry where safety is paramount, personal protective equipment (PPEs) were reportedly issued only once, forcing workers to buy replacements from their pockets when worn out. Such alleged neglect of welfare and hazard protection stands far below the acceptable minimum standard for oil and gas operations.
In fact, the unannounced resignation of the refinery’s Chief Operating Officer, David Bird, further highlights these concerns. Known for promoting Nigerians within the refinery, it is elleged that he left due to the worsening staff welfare situation. Yet, despite his efforts, Nigerian engineers continue to earn a fraction of their expatriate colleagues’ salaries. While local staff struggle with ₦383,000, their Indian counterparts reportedly earn no less than $2,000 (around ₦3,000,000) monthly, even though a lot of them are Diploma holders. This fosters resentment and erode morale.
The situation came to a head when staff sought to exercise their right to unionize by joining the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN). Management, however, threatened them, insisting that because they operated within a Free Trade Zone, they could not join any trade union. PENGASSAN nevertheless registered hundreds of staff and formally wrote to the refinery. The response was punitive: workers were forced to declare whether or not they had registered, shift buses were withdrawn, and many were denied access to the refinery before their official termination letters were released.
This raises troubling questions. If sabotage truly occurred, can the management of Dangote Refinery explain what it was and who was culpable? Why were Dangote Fertiliser staff, who also joined PENGASSAN, not sacked? Is it because the fertiliser plant depends on locals for over 90% of its operations, while the refinery, being largely run by expatriates, can afford to dispense with Nigerian engineers? The selective application of punitive measures suggests that this is less about sabotage and more about silencing Nigerian workers who dared to seek fair treatment.
Now, a new management directive signed by Manas, a senior official of the refinery, has been released in response to the “manning crisis” caused by Nigerian staff not reporting to work. It reads:
•“All leaves of expats are cancelled until further notice. Anyone needing leave on genuine emergency will have to talk to me.”
•“Six (6) days work (12 hours) plus one day off to be followed in every unit until normalisation.”
This order confirms the depth of the crisis. With Nigerian engineers disengaged or locked out, expatriates are being overstretched to fill the gap. Rather than solving the crisis, such directives create unsustainable pressure on expatriates, deepen the divide between local and foreign staff, and expose the refinery’s overdependence on foreign labour. It further reveals that the termination of Nigerians was not a matter of discipline alone but a miscalculation with serious operational consequences.
Hey #cPenNetwork community! Thanks to over a year of contributions from every member, our community is growing steadily and rapidly. This progress makes us even more confident in our project's success. Now, we're thrilled to announce the upcoming $PEN token distribution. Here are the key dates:
• Feb 28, 2025, 23:59:59 UTC:
$PEN mining ends. When you click the Start button, it automatically switches to $INK mining.
Action: Update your app to v1.2.20 (available on the Apple App Store & Google Play Store) for a seamless transition.
• Mar 11, 2025:
KYC & BSC Wallet Address entries will be paused for balance verification and token distribution.
Action: Please complete your KYC & BSC Wallet Address entries before this date to qualify for the $PEN token distribution.
(Note: The entries will be re-opened at a later date.)
• Mar 24, 2025:
$PEN token distribution begins.
The $PEN token distribution marks a significant milestone in our project—and it's only the beginning. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
Thank you for your continued support!
Previously, we announced that token mining will soon switch from $PEN to $INK (please update your app to the latest version if you haven’t already). Today, we want to clarify the differences between these two tokens and why both are essential to our ecosystem.
$PEN will be used as the gas fee token on the cPen blockchain when we have the open network, ensuring smooth, secure on-chain transactions. Looking ahead, $PEN will play a key role in the future development and governance of the cPen blockchain.
In contrast, $INK is designed for in-app purchases within the cPen App. Similar in spirit to Telegram’s Star—but with a major upgrade—$INK will be fully on-chain and transferable, giving you enhanced control and flexibility in your app interactions.
Eventually, we plan to separate the cPen blockchain from the cPen app to form the cPen Foundation. Separating functionalities lets us optimize both our blockchain and app experiences:
• $PEN powers blockchain transactions and future governance.
• $INK fuels app-specific features and in-app economies.
This dual-token approach not only streamlines operations but also lays the foundation for a scalable, robust ecosystem. Thanks for being a vital part of our journey as we continue to innovate and grow!
