The letter further outlined the strike directives: “All PENGASSAN members working across field locations are to withdraw services effective 06:00hrs on Sunday, 28 September 2025 and commence 24-hour prayers. “All PENGASSAN members across all offices, companies, institutions, and agencies should withdraw all services effective 00:01 on Monday, 29th of September, 2025. “All processes that involve gas and crude supply to Dangote Refinery should be let off effectively immediately. The strike stems from a deepening conflict between Dangote Refinery and organised labour, particularly PENGASSAN and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), over alleged violations of labour rights and workplace safety standards. In response, the Dangote Refinery denied carrying out a mass dismissal.
